Beginning of Practicum
I don’t know how you do it in your state, but Oregon has six standards that are addressed within the licensure process for school administrators:
- Visionary Leadership
- Instructional Improvement
- Effective Management
- Inclusive Practice
- Ethical Leadership
- Socio-political contexts
So, activities that I record in my practicum log must somehow fit into one of those standards. As I mentioned before, my own professional improvement needs are in the areas of curriculum instruction. So, I anticipate my ending portfolio to be heavy in “Instructional Improvement.”
On another note, I haven’t posted in quite a while, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had anything blogworthy come across my life. On the contrary, I’m growing more now professionally than I have in quite a while, it’s just been tough to get my blog publisher opened up for long enough to put together a meaningful post. My blogging life has been primarily reading and occasionally commenting to some excellent posts. Most of my posts from here on out, at least for a while, will have to do with my practicum. Thanks for keeping me in your reader!
