This competency was addressed through
the development of a new web page and
call out system by the school. The
school also incorporated a new system
called Skyward in order to keep the
parents informed on what is going on
with his/students.
This competency has been addressed in
many areas but one area that I would
like to mention is with discipline. Many
times when students get in trouble the
first comment is that “this isn’t fair” By
creating guidelines on what behaviors
and actions will lead to what
consequences moves away from the
thought of someone being unfair.

Competency 005
The principal knows how
to advocate, nurture, and
sustain an instructional
program and a campus
culture that are conducive
to student learning and
staff professional growth.
During Staff development and through
numerous trainings, teachers learn
different ways to implement lessons that
are conducive to student learning.
Teachers are taught how to incorporate
technology, and games into learning to
make the learning environment
appealing to the student.
I have learned that learning should
be fun, and it takes times to develop
lessons to catch the eye of the
student, but once the environment
becomes fun, the students want to
continue to come back for more.
I will continue to develop
