The Guard

often debated are the Navy and the Coast Guard. The United States Navy and the United States Coast Guard have been said to be the same branches by some, and completely different by others. I found that the Navy and the Coast Guard are actually not too similar but both are very unique and important, although the Navy serves a greater purpose in my opinion.

1. “You leading others to achieve a goal” is how the Coast Guard defines leadership. My personal definition adds to those concise words only by acknowledging that the quality with which one leads is vital. A goal can be achieved with brute force or with finesse. I define leadership as: “You leading others to achieve a goal in a refined manner”. Throughout my 23 years in the Coast Guard, I have been exposed to a wide range of leadership styles and philosophies. Some leaders demonstrated great…

Of that breakdown, 10 teachers are within their first three years of teaching and are eager to cooperate and learn, 7 are indifferent about change, and 3 are part of the “old guard” at the school and account for more teaching experience than the 10 new teachers. The problem that occurs in staff meetings is that the “old guard” continue to question and push back to suggestions put in place to improve student achievement by stating that they have tried all strategies in the past with little to no…

Due to schools lacking in proper preventive means, troublesome events have occurred which leads, to the belief that schools are no longer as secure of an environment as they once were; to reverse this, schools must enforce more severe protective…
