the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a vision of
learning that is shared and supported by the school community.

I hosted Science Fair Parent Night which presented the opportunity for parents to
witness the hard work of the students who participated in the science fair. I also
developed a strong relationship with schools in our feeder by developing a
mentorship program so their students will know what we expect from them when
they get to our school.

I had the pleasure of facilitating Professional Learning Community meeting in
which staff members collaborate to evaluate instructional practices and student
learning.
Competency 003: The principal knows how to act with integrity, fairness, and in an
ethical and legal manner.

I was chosen to judge science fair projects. I had to remain objective and fair in the
judging of the projects to maintain the integrity of the completion. I also
represented administration at several events across the district.
Competency 004: The principal knows how to facilitate the design and
implementation of curricula and strategic plans that enhance teaching and
learning; ensure alignment of curriculum, instruction, resources, and assessment;

teachers and ISS monitors.

instructional program and a campus culture that are conducive to student learning
and staff professional growth.

I helped develop a series of tutorials for the students who still fall under the TAKS

galvanized to assist these students, and many of them were able to pass their
remaining exams within the deadline to attend graduation.

development system to improve the performance of all staff members, select and

with them. I also assisted the science department chair with the budget for the
department.
