CAREER GOALS 2

Over the last four years, I have served as a literacy specialist in grades ranging from

pre-kinder to eighth grade. I have worked with new and veteran teachers to help improve

instructional practices to impact student achievement. I have thoroughly enjoined this work

given the positive impact I have had on teachers and students alike. However, I aspire to be an

assistant principal in the near future because I believe we need more administrators who are

content experts and coaches. The Texas appraisal tool is now a coaching tool to help teachers

move from developing to accomplished. It is necessary for administrators to have coaching

experience to effectively move teachers practices and shift paradigms, if necessary. As an

assistant principal, I hope to have the opportunity to work with an exceptional, visionary of a

principal to learn how to effectively organize and lead a school. With this knowledge and hands-

on practice, I plan to build a community school much like the promise network. I truly believe

the schoolhouse should be at the center of a community and it is through the school, families

receive services and opportunities for empowerment.
