==An educational leader promotes the success of all students by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a vision of learning that is shared and supported by the community.==

Shared Vision:
When I was given the opportunity to shadow a principal from another district I had the opportunity to compare and contrast each vision and mission statements from both districts. Through this experience I discussed with both principals the process of developing the ultimate vision and mission for their particular building. It was clear by their responses that it is important to involve as many people as possible when developing these statements. I was also informed that it is a good idea to be creative and sometimes nontraditional. Once an agreement has been made on the district's vision/mission statement it is important to make them public and visible for everyone to see.

Being a part of the building leadership team at the high school, I shared the idea of developing a student of the month program. It was mentioned that this type of recognition was present in the past but was discarded for no particular reason. As a team we all agreed that it would be good for the district to recognize those students that are good role models in and out of the classroom. This form was later on developed into an online form by the curriculum director which made it easy for teachers to access and complete each month.
