Personal and Professional Growth Reflection

Throughout the three internship courses, principal candidates will reflect on their personal and professional growth. The purpose of the reflections are to engage principal candidates in the best practice of considering blind spots in their development and to illuminate areas of opportunity. As part of your reflection, consider how you will find opportunities to practice leadership attributes that align with your needs and areas of opportunity. Keep in mind that at this point in the program, you have one final internship experience in EAD-539. Thus, you must begin thinking, processing, and planning to have all elements of the school leadership position identified, practiced, and ready as you prepare to finish the program. Write a 150-250 word reflective summary of your internship experiences this week, connecting your experiences to ELCC standards. Address how you used technological tools to collect and share professional artifacts that demonstrate your ethical personal conduct, positive relationships with others, effective decision-making, stewardship of school resources, and other aspects of school leadership.
