In my EDL 610 course, which is Visionary Leadership, we are working on developing a leadership platform. This is meant to be my belief post as I create this platform.
I firmly believe that every child should be given all the tools they need to be successful on their chosen path. This does not mean being spoon-fed answers and information; rather, the skills to ask the right questions and be able to make informed decisions and choices based on those answers. I was proud of my AAS staff who came together to rewrite our vision statement earlier this year, which in part reads "inspiring scholars to appreciate the ways in which arts and sciences nurture a curiosity for life-long learning, and prepare scholars to take responsibility for their future success." I share this sentiment - I believe education is about preparing scholars to take responsibility for their future success, whether that is to continue to earn a bachelors degree after graduating high school, or entering the workforce. The choice is theirs and they will have the tools to be successful.

You are in a unique position so your platform has the need and flexibility to breathe that into your opening belief statement which you have done. Ias you tweek it I would encourage you to make sure each statemnet overtly ties back to support the central theme of your belief statement. As I read it I think it is that education will accomplish its responsibility to prepare each learner for their future by giving them the skills and determimination to be curious life long learners. If that is right, start there and let everything else you share lead the reader(or listener) back to that core theme. If I got the theme wrong, the advise is the same. Leave a Reply. |
