Expanded participation in University Interscholastic League Literary Competition\n\n\x0cPHILOSOPHY\nI believe that the educational program in any school district should be designed to help\nevery student realize and experience his or her maximum in mental, emotional, and\nphysical growth.\nI also believe that ALL STUDENTS CAN LEARN WELL AND SUCCEED IN\nSCHOOL when instruction is delivered in an intentional, systematic, and sensitive\nmanner. The school program should be designed to afford every student an opportunity\nfor success in both academics and extra-curricular activities. The program should be\nvaried and it should recognize the different needs, interests, and aptitudes of students.\nThe school program should utilize technology in several creative ways.\nI further believe that the superintendent of a school district MUST be a "TEAM" LEADER\nworking closely with the school board, faculty, and staff. The superintendent must be an\ninstructional leader as well as a skilled fiscal manager. He or she must work diligently\nto keep all individuals well informed on all of the functions within the school district.\nThe superintendent MUST be well informed on current educational trends and issues\nincluding the legislative process. Above all the superintendent of schools must have the\nability to deal with people effectively and be able to make meaningful decisions under all\ncircumstances. The superintendent must be a role model in reference to honesty and\nintegrity.\nI BELIEVE EFFECTIVE SCHOOLS HAVE THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS:\nHIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENT SUCCESS\nCOLLABORATION\nGOAL DRIVEN\nSOUND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES\nSTRONG DISCIPLINE\nSENSE OF MISSION\nDATA DRIVEN\nINSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP\n...\nTherefore, I believe it is imperative that a superintendent be DATA DRIVEN. His or her\nadministration must utilize and respond to data rather than to "feelings" or "emotions."\nMy philosophy of education is soundly based, but flexible enough to change and adapt to\nfuture needs of students and communities.\nH.
