Reflection on PDP

I approached the plan in three phases:  (1) focused on financial literacy improvement; (2) focused on internal team structures/systems for improvement; and (3) focused on my leadership of others resulted in their professional success.  Working with budgets, bonds, and facilities remains my area of growth, but for the role I recently stepped into and plan to be in the next five years, instructional leadership must remain my focus.  I know I will continue to grow in my weaker areas, as we anticipate having a bond study within the year and I will be very involved in that process.  To make an impact in my position in the next three years, it is essential that I work to put some new collaborative structures in place for principals to learn together and from one another, as well as provide them professional development.  This will result in higher performing leaders, who will influence teachers, who will ultimately influence our student success.
