Self- evaluation
I believe it is always a good thing to go back and evaluate an event, lesson, experience,
etc. that has an impact on your life. This helps you to see why things happened the way they did,
how much you have grown, could/should you have done things differently, and/or what should
your next step be. So, I am thankful for this assignment to reflect on the past five weeks. I know
it will only prepare me more for my future classes and internships.
Strong Leadership Elements
While reflecting on the ELCC standards, I found that I have strengths in areas that will
continue to help me grow and improve my leadership skills. One of these areas was in ELCC

learning environment, having high expectations for all students, curriculum and appropriate

how to best teach these students. We’ve developed plans and activities that follow the
curriculum. We make sure our students know our expectations and work hard for them. I have
shared these activities and ideas of how to keep students working toward my expectations with

found that others are more receptive and want to hear my ideas when I want to hear theirs, and
don’t act like mine are the best. After all, we are all here to help our students succeed.
Another area I have found is a strength for me is ELCC standard 3, management of
school operations. Every morning I have been outside at the car drop-off as students arrive to
