The Oakland University Experience
My experience at Oakland University as given me the opportunity to discover what type of leader I am and also what type of leader I aspire to be. The courses I have taken so far has challenged me to conduct scholarly research, explore what changes I would like to see in today's education, and push my critical thinking skills to a whole new level. I had to transition my thought process from a classroom teacher to an administator and apply these idealogies to how I would lead a team and ultimately a school/district. I worked with some extraordinary educators across the tri-county area and have learned so much about their district dynamics and challenges they face each day. As I continue this jouney my leadership skills have improved tremendously as I transition from observer to leader and begin to apply the theories I have read about or discussed with my cohert. Each class has shaped me differently as I navigate through the leadership process. Below is some of work I completed in the educational leadership program. The Oakland University experience has been amazing and I look forward to learning and growing as a school leader.
