Week 3 EDLD 5399- Recommendations for District/Campus Initiatives

                                  Recommendations District/Campus Improvement initiatives

As I reflect through my internship activities and my interviews with the superintendent and different administrators of the district, I feel that this has provided me with an opportunity to see how our district operates on a daily basis. I have provided information on some areas that I believe need to be addressed in our school district but I also believe our school district is providing our students with excellent opportunities to be successful.  We have decent facilities and a curriculum that is broken down every year and a team of leaders and teachers that have made it their passion to provide our students with best learning experience possible. I believe the learning taught and tested is evident in most of the campuses in our district.  With so many good things happening recently taking place in our district you could say there aren’t many areas in need of improvement.  That statement is never true, because as leaders and future superintendents we must constantly seek improvements to the district’s curriculum and management of the district’s revenues to maintain and constantly improve the performance of our school district.

I believe that our district must improve in the following areas: 

1.      Parental involvement program and activities (Urban District)   

2.      Meaningful and Purposeful professional development

3.       Questioning strategies from teachers (Rigor)

I believe that our district needs to look at these areas and set up committees to develop and make recommendations to improve the areas I have listed. If we work together as a team and we make our passion to see these areas improve; we can implement strategies that will help us in these areas.  Involving parents in the education of their children, providing our teachers with professional development that will help drive instruction and challenging our students with highly effective questions on a daily basis will certainly help improve the success of our students in our district.  It is our commitment and passion to provide our students with the Best Education in Texas.  Our students are “Learners Today and Leaders Tomorrow.”
