The Five NETS-A

Decent Essays
Administrators of schools serving Native American students have a unique role as leaders of technology. In this study nine principals from federally-funded, BIE schools that serve Native American students were interviewed about various topics related to technology leadership. The study was based off of the National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators, and found that even though these principals were meeting various components of the NETS-A in distinct ways, they were missing many components of the standards entirely. This study was done to see what the five NETS-A looked like in Native American schools and what challenges school leaders faced when trying to become effective technology leaders. Principals in these nine schools

When the new superintendent demonstrated a collaborative leadership style by forming a Principal interview team that included both veteran and new teachers to choose the new principal, it well-received; therefore, as the new principal, following through with a similar collaborative style would likely be successful. In my perspective, the principal needs to develop a strategic plan that creates a shared vision and goals with a variety of stakeholders, provides professional development for the staff to achieve those goals, and reaches into the community to develop partnerships and positive relationships.…

    An analysis of educational leadership reveals one of the many challenges facing a principal is the development of the school’s value system. The rituals of the school often demonstrate to the students, staff and community what the school values as important. The principal is often the leader of these rituals and they reaffirm the values of the school through what they attend to (Deal & Peterson, 1994, p. 30). Thus, the principal becomes a symbol of what to value and believe in.…

    Teachers need to believe that the principal has their best interest at heart. Teachers also need to feel that the principal is dependable and has the necessary skills and knowledge to lead the school. “One of the hallmarks of effective principals is how they treat people. Like effective teachers, effective principals treat people with respect,” (Whitaker, 2009). No matter what wonderful programs, textbooks, and activities are established in a school, the success of the school and essentially the students will depend on the relationships, both internal and external, among the stakeholders.…

Rick Reilly writes his article, “Nothing But Nets,” on the back page of popular sports magazine, Sports Illustrated, to request money from his audience, so that mosquito nets may be purchased for African countries.…

    Equity In Education

    • 3 Pages

    In the United States, discussions on school leadership and equity were raised as early as the 1970s during the “effective school movement” (Edmonds, 1979) and gaining a stronger footing with the focus on the human dimensions of schooling taking place during the 1990s (Murphy, 1995). Today, the prominence of equity in our contemporary school leadership practices is evident in the new Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) leadership policy standards. In the ISLLC’s original publication in 1996 and its subsequent revised edition in 2008, the practice of equity appears in only one of the six standards. Now, in a recently published ISLLC’s (2015) policy standards, four of the ten standards discuss issues of equity. For example, according to the new ISLLC (2015) standards, school leaders must safe guard and promote equity, address matters of equity and cultural responsiveness, and develop and administer systems for fair and equitable…

It’s a never ending debate, for which of the two leadership styles is better.…
