Case Study - The New Principal
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
I can identify with this case study more than any other one because I lived it to some degree just two years ago. Much like the principal in this study I had to choose what I wanted to tackle as I stepped into the position and which things I wanted to sit back and observe for the time being. The new principal's decision to create quality teams, in my opinion, was brilliant considering the situation. The principal was dealing with a very influential teacher leader that had campus leverage, was driven enough to earn a doctorate degree, and savvy enough to be the president of the local teachers union. Giving the teachers more of a voice played into the role of a teachers' union which is to speak for teachers and maintain a balance of power. The principal achieved that and I'd say he dared Dr. Neuman to fight a decision that teachers would likely be in favor of and one that as the union president, he should have been advocating. Razik and Swanson (2010) point out that change should be viewed as a psychological process as well as an intellectual one. They also point out that people will resist change if they feel like their perceived power or influence will be reduced or that they could be seen as obsolete. In this case, the principal seems to have approached the situation not from a heavy-handed path but from calculated, psychological one. He also understood that Dr. Neuman would likely feel threatened with the arrival of a new principal especially considering the lack of effectiveness of the previous one. Dr. Neuman's influence had likely grown in the last days or weeks of the former principal, partly because upper-level leadership lacked.
I believe that the change agent is both the principal and Dr. Neuman. The principal has the authority by title but Dr. Neuman as the authority by social status. The new principal communicated to the staff that they have a voice and that they should be heard. It also told them that though they were not lead well before that they are the classroom experts and that they should play a part in doing what needs to be done to take care of their students. The supports in this change are the teachers that will be on the quality teams and the superintendent. The teachers have a vested interest because they are serving on the team and having a say in what happens next. The superintendent is the one that chose the principal and the one that has been advising him. The potential dissenters are Dr. Neuman and anyone that has been loyal to his leadership or his way of thinking.
I support the move that was made by the principal. I would go a step further and meet with Dr. Neuman to get his thoughts and to better understand his point of view. His uncomfortable as it could be I would draw him in as closely as I could. Speaking with him wouldn't be in an advisory role but as information gathering. I would want to know what elements of his position mean the mo ...

1. Human beings are often resistant to change within routine whether it be in an organization or in their personal lives. This comes from a place of disruption, fear, and anxiety of the unknown, however a quality leaders’ job is to embrace change to stay current (Kouzes & Posner, 2012). Our text illustrates that “human problems are what stand in the way of great productivity” (Razik & Swanson, 2010) and reluctance to change and hostility towards new policies and procedures often seen when change occurs supports this stance.
If I were Valerie Rizzo in the first thirty days of my incumbency, I would implement a series of workshops. I would hold a conference style workshop to get feedback from the staff and faculty to be sure they feel important, included, and part of the change rather than subjected to the change. After examining needs and wants of the staff, talking about what does and does not work I would then hold a conference for all faculty and staff where I essentially market the new methods that will be implemented during this time of change. I would be sure all board members are part of both conferences, collaboration is key.
1.
I would be sure these meetings are set in advance, required for all staff and faculty, and are open forums for communication. I would promote openness in communication through trying to create a safe casual feel, possibly providing refreshments to feel at ease and being aware that peoples time is valuable and to keep it direct and to the point. This open forum method will help create shared values “basic character of an organization and gives it meaning” (Razik & Swanson, 2010). A pre- meeting anonymous survey would also be helpful in identifying needs, values, and expectations.
2. The models I relate to best from our text would be the use of Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs to help motivate and retain standards, and expectancy models.
Expectancy models are especially useful in organizations. People are more motivated to perform a task when their personal beliefs about effort, performance, and outcomes (Razik & Swanson, 2010) align with what needs to happen. This is the basic idea that if you believe what you are doing is meaningful and that you are going to do well, you will. Motivation is a strong predictor in the efficiency of any situation.
This marries well with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and this is not the first time I have paired these two elements together for a course. As human beings we long for basic things, like sleep, air, food but also require a level of security when securing basic needs, a social need to belonging, and the need to feel important (Razik & Swanson, 2010). Administrators can really utilize this method for their benefit. Job security, growth, pay can be all be a strong motivator for individuals. When motivated to maintain these standards we can also offer staff consistency and predictability, which is comfort ...

LDP
A. What life lessons, skills, and values are central to your current success? What role models or mentors helped you learn those lessons, develop those skills, or assume those values? In what ways are you like them?
I find that I am an honest and caring leader who values efficiency. I can project trust to my superiors and my subordinates, I have the gift of project confidence to others, and after I realized this quality in myself I have been trying to master this gift.
I don’t think I had a mentor in my life that influenced the leader I become. The closest was a German Physician with the worst rigid character I’ve ever seen but the nicest person after work, I notice than in general the people who work with him, dislike his behavior but at the same time value his company after work. I notice that his great character for issues beside work, were more valuable for people than working with him, and his temper was tolerable for that.
I had learned more reading about great leaders from history than from mentors. The history of civilization goes around politics and diplomacy and the great business leaders of history as Alexander the great, Napoleon, Lincoln, Roosevelt, JP Morgan, Rockefeller, Tesla, Ford, Steve Jobs and the list may go on. All this great men has influenced my life more than any other human alive.
B. Which bosses have made a lasting impression on you? What did you learn from each? How does your managerial style reflect that?
I have learned more from co-workers and their interactions with subordinates, than from my former bosses. Every one of them has positive management points, but in general I can’t think of any who left such a positive impression that change my style. For the other part I had a great boss, excellent human been who micromanagement everything, the lesson I learned from him was not to do it ever to the people who work for me. I learned how micromanagement neutralizes employee’s intellectual growth; affect the person’s overall emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. Additional to this put more pressure to the leader who overworks for issues that should be delegated.
At the time I was attending for Emergency medicine, I learn from a colleague how, to project calm under pressure make your team confident, efficient, and respectful. I learned from another colleague, how to be human and caring without be taking as a soft boss, in fact he amazed me how been very pleasant at the same time was very strict for work matters.
My managerial style is reflected in how my staff respect me as a boss, they appreciate that I fully support them. I am invited to more meetings that I should be because people enjoy my comments and suggestions, in general people that work with me, appreciate me. I know it because after I leave different positions in my professional life, most of my former staff keep in touch and care about me.

This article discusses how hospitals need better management systems to improve. It describes research by John Toussaint who studied over 160 healthcare organizations and found that successful ones had strong management frameworks. The article provides examples of how hospitals can strengthen management, such as having managers clearly define required skills and responsibilities. Overall, it argues that enhancing management is key to addressing many of the problems hospitals face.
This article discusses a four-step process called O.A.R.S that physician leaders can use to navigate challenges in their new leadership roles. The four steps are: 1) Define the outcome you want to achieve, 2) Assess your actual current status, 3) Determine what research and development is needed to close any gaps, and 4) Commit to your next action step. The article provides examples of two physician leaders who worked through unclear roles and frustrations by applying the O.A.R.S. process to clarify their visions and paths forward.

This document is a leadership essay written by Joshua Grover for an organizational behavior course. In the essay, Grover discusses various leadership theories including bureaucratic theory, scientific management theory, and classical theory. He argues that an effective leader needs to take principles from each theory and adapt to different situations. Grover also reflects on his own leadership style, concluding that he takes a situational approach and favors team leadership. He emphasizes the importance of communication, vision, and creating an environment that inspires learning.
Nir Halevy, a Stanford professor, studies how social distance affects motivation through feedback. His research finds that people respond best to feedback that "fits" the social distance, such as concrete feedback from close supervisors but abstract ideas from distant leaders. This "construal fit" leaves people feeling more inspired. Halevy tested this in various workplace contexts and found that fitting the communication style to the social distance improved job satisfaction, commitment, and willingness to take action. Understanding construal fit can help managers motivate employees through more effective communication.
This document discusses a communication challenge at a university dining location where the author works as a student manager. Specifically, there is ineffective communication between supervisors, student managers, and regular employees regarding when formal vs casual communication is appropriate and responsibilities. The author analyzes this using Giddens' structuration theory, which explains how social structures emerge from individual actions. To address the problem, the author proposes an intervention plan involving assessing communication needs through employee reviews, implementing regular performance reviews and meetings, and evaluating the results over time to improve cooperation and effectiveness.
· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching.docxalinainglis
· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching civic responsibility, how can this work with both "policies and people" in the school where you become principal?
In order to increase the focus on teaching civic responsibility, policy must be in place supporting this goal. A school leader must be willing to invest time and funds into planning, training, and implementing curriculum that emphasizes civics. Staff members may have different levels of interest, understanding, and comfort when it comes to incorporating civic responsibility into their teaching, so providing professional development in this area would be critical. The strategic plan for integrating civic responsibility and the expectations for each teacher’s involvement should be clearly communicated. In addition to establishing these policies regarding civics education, the school leader and teachers must work to model civic responsibility. In addition to sharing his or her vision for increased focus on civics with the school staff, the school leader should work to share his or her vision with school board members, other district personnel including the superintendent, and the greater community. Lastly, school leaders need to support their staff as they take risks and work to develop and implement new activities, discussions, and projects centered around teaching civic responsibility.
· How will you lead your staff in this part of the curriculum?
In leading my staff in this part of the curriculum, I would work to secure professional development related to civic responsibility, as this is not an area that I have expertise in, and work as a staff to develop our vision and implementation goals. I would also provide examples such as the work of the exemplar schools described in the article in integrating civic responsibility across all content areas, implementing service-learning programs, and creating partnerships between the school and community. I would also work within PLTs to develop ways that civic responsibility could be incorporated within their curriculum and remind them that they have my support as they embark on this endea

DISCUSSION TOPIC 1: Leadership Competencies
READING 1.
Robert House (1996) initially developed Pathgoal theory to explain workplace leadership. The theory builds on two work motivation theories of goal setting and expectancy theory. Goal setting theory is based on the idea that an effective way to motivate employees is to set challenging goals that are both realistic and offer a reward for completion. Expectancy theory helps explain why people work hard to attain goals and suggest employees will work hard if they believe completing their goals will lead to a reward such as a bonus or promotion and that the behaviors they engage in are likely to help them meet their goal. Employees who do not value the reward associated with the goal or believe that a particular behavior will help then reach that goal they will not be motivated to reach their goals (House, 1996).
Pathgoal theory also suggests that effective leaders are the ones who can help there employees reach the goals of the organization and that the leaders have the responsibility to provide the employees the necessary tools, including information and support to reach those goals. Leaders must help their followers with goal attainment by removing obstacles that might prevent them from reaching their goals. It important to consider that pathgoal theory is a contingency theory and an effective leader must adopt a style of leadership that matches the needs of the employees in any given situation. There are four main leadership styles identified by the theory that includes Supportive, Directive, Participative, and Achievement oriented (Avolio, 2007). Supportive leadership requires the leader to identify with the needs of the subordinate and that they create a positive atmosphere for them to work in. Directive leadership requires that a leader give their employees clear guidelines and let them know what is expected of them by enforcing rules and procedures. Participative leadership requires that a leader consult with their subordinates and consider their opinions and suggestions when determining the strategy to meet their goals. Finally, the Achievement oriented style uses a method in which challenging goals are set to emphasize excellence and building confidence that the employees are capable of working to high standards. It is also important to recognize that the style of leadership will depend on environmental factors such as the nature of the task and internal factors such as the experience and abilities of the employees.
For the situation given in this week’s discussion supportive leadership would probably not be the best choice. This is because supportive leadership is most effective when the tasks are somewhat routine, boring, or even dangerous. This type of leadership helps remove negative aspects of the job. Directive leadership is best applied to situations in which there is much uncertainty within the working environment and direction helps clarify and redu.

In the article of the 10 lessons parts 1 through 4 are compared to transformational leadership theory, and a bit of leader–member exchange theory. Transformational Leadership is about new leadership and getting rid of your multiple top members of your leadership can be a bad idea. Not only can this affect the future leaders, but also many of the employees. I was in a unit and they fired our Commander (CC) and our Director of Operations (DO), our unit was in a very low standard until we received our new CC and DO. Losing them at the same time was hard on them, because they had to gain our trust quickly and some of the advice they got wasn’t from the best of other employees. Replacing one at a time is better for many reason, but mainly for continuity and to give the employees time to adjust and adapt to their new leader. The leader–member exchange theory is shown in 1 through 4 because when you have a great relationship with your previous boss, it can carry over with what they say about you. In the military when the new leaders come in to the unit the higher-ranking members normally go over the members of the unit and give an insight on the member. This is usually a good thing and also sometimes can be a bad thing based on the relationship that you made with the leadership.
In 5 the Great man theory is present based on getting the right man for the job. This theory is part of the trait approach, so giving a person a job that he excels at is better than a person who doesn’t have the right qualities for the position. I am not a very good writer and organizer, so being an assistant or secretary is not a good job for me. My wife would be great because she is very organized and can write very well, she would be the better fit if we both went for a position.
For 6 through 10 the leader–member exchange theory could be close to these. Your relationship with your people will open you up to want to know more about the culture and make it right within your area. With 7-9 the trust that you get is giving each member a special relationship with them. This is built on trust and communication with these members. Telling the truth is pivotal to the relationship with the unit or company that you lead. I was in a meeting and a fellow Airman told me that his Commander failed his physical fitness test, and he got up and told his unit that he failed them and couldn’t not continue to be in command until he was fit. My friend had great respect for him because I am sure that was very hard to do. When you are in a leadership position keeping communication limited is key. How many times have you heard people in leadership positions spreading gossip? I have and that makes me stay away from them and not want to tell them. 10 is difficult because sometimes you may not know your leadership is changing. Being myself in a leadership position, I also use my relationships to train others to do my job in case of an absen ...
This document outlines Thomas Pacciretti's teaching philosophy, which focuses on using content and context to improve retention, engaging students through enthusiasm, and challenging and adapting to student needs. Some key points:
- He believes teaching should make students think by providing context around content to help them apply concepts to new situations.
- Enthusiasm and encouraging student participation, like presentations, helps light bulbs go on and concepts stick.
- Challenging students to understand different viewpoints and apply advanced topics stimulates learning. Adaptation to student experience and needs is important.
- The goal is to guide students from where they are to where they need to be, not dumb down material, through an engaging
1) The document discusses the author's views on creativity, problem solving, and leadership before taking a class on the topics.
2) It then describes a challenging situation at the author's school involving deception, betrayal, and damaged relationships among staff that negatively impacted students.
3) The author argues that during such times, effective leaders demonstrate creativity and innovation through creative problem solving and arbitration to prevent future issues and create a safe work environment. Leaders should intervene early, listen to understand problems, and find solutions rather than punishments.
The document discusses the results of a personality test called PAMS that analyzed strengths, weaknesses, behavioral preferences, and other factors. It highlights key areas assessed like leadership, problem-solving, communication, and interpersonal skills.

The presentations for this week’s discussion have influenced my perceptions of the common good. They have highlighted the importance of policy and practical wisdom and their fantastic effect on education. For example, in Bruno’s presentation, she discusses the importance of due process, which leads to others owning their decisions and making necessary changes that affect the greater good. Bruno also imparts her wisdom on the importance of documentation to support due process (National Association for the Education of Young Children, 2014). Schwartz outlines the importance of using practical wisdom. Practical wisdom is the moral will to do the right thing and the skill to know the right thing (TED Conferences, LLC, 2011). A wise person can be flexible when dealing with others and knows how to bend the rules for the greater good with the proper needs in mind. Practical wisdom requires the person to have a desire to do the right thing.
Schwartz uses the example of a teacher who listened to a consultant trying to help the school boost its test scores. The consultant’s advice was for educators not to waste their time on students who will pass the test, don’t waste time on students who won’t pass no matter what, and kids whose scores will not matter. This consultant’s idea is to focus on the bubble kids, the kids that will make a difference. The teacher was upset by this advice because she believed all students matter. Schwartz’s point is that rules are essential, but some rules will demoralize the practitioners and the practice. Rules and incentives create people who only work for the incentive.
Similarly, we, as educators, work to reach students through incentives. Students begin to work for the incentive rather than the desire to learn. Thankfully there is a way out of the rules and incentive system through people willing to be system changers. The system changers use courage not to leave the system but to work to change the system (TED Conferences, LLC, 2011).
Courage is needed to make system changes. We have policies and rules because we see the importance of having a standard of operation. However, not every situation fits the standard. Therefore, flexibility and practical wisdom matter. Fromberg presents the idea of high-stakes testing as sanctioned child abuse. She highlights the importance of play and risk-taking in the learning process. Unfortunately, administrators and teachers are placed in positions to use standardized tests and scripted lessons. However, there are system changers using courage to br.

Discussion #1
In my experience, I have seen both effective and ineffective leaders. Effective leaders have a number of positive characteristics. The most important characteristics is passion. In order to be effective, one must display a passion in their role. Passion is essential in higher education. While decision making is a critical part of being a leader, it should be accompanied with passion. Passion helps leaders to strive for the best interest of those who would be affected. For example, at an institution I worked at, there was a struggle of power between the dean of students and other administrators. The dean was attempting to meet the needs of the students by utilizing the budget to upgrade the student center; however, administration saw the need to utilize funds for other means. The passion of the dean to serve the students is what provided fuel to fight for change. Passion isn’t the only characteristic to be an effective leader of change. Good judgement and active listening are characteristics that an effective leader must also have. In order to strategically be effective, one must listen to the concerns of the stakeholders of the stakeholders and utilized good judgement in navigating the best interests of the institution.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities provide plays a more significant role in student development that minorities at Predominantly White Institutions.
The key stakeholders to this issue are students, administration, and faculty. These stakeholders are relevant to this issue for several reasons. Minority students at Predominantly White Institutions deserves the same level of engagement as students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Minority Serving Institutions are the gold standard in terms of engagement. Administration are invested in this issue as well. Their mission is not only to develop students, but to provide a fair and comparable learning environment to those students as well. Faculty are also invested due to the fact that it is their role in the students’ future. Educators, just like all parents, want their students to have the best educational experience as possible.
What is the benefit of attending a Predominantly White Institutions?
What accommodations are made for minority students at Predominantly White Institutions?
How do minority students fare at Historically Black Colleges and Universities?
What challenges does student face as being a part of a minority culture at an institution?
As educators, what is your emotional/psychological impact on students?
These responses to these questions are important to addressing the problem, because these questions will give insight to issues that all three stakeholders are facing. These questions will provide a prospective into what students experience as being among the minority population. Additionally, di.

This document is a leadership essay written by Joshua Grover for an organizational behavior course. In the essay, Grover discusses various leadership theories including bureaucratic theory, scientific management theory, and classical theory. He argues that an effective leader needs to take principles from each theory and adapt to different situations. Grover also reflects on his own leadership style, concluding that he takes a situational approach and favors team leadership. He emphasizes the importance of communication, vision, and creating an environment that inspires learning.
Nir Halevy, a Stanford professor, studies how social distance affects motivation through feedback. His research finds that people respond best to feedback that "fits" the social distance, such as concrete feedback from close supervisors but abstract ideas from distant leaders. This "construal fit" leaves people feeling more inspired. Halevy tested this in various workplace contexts and found that fitting the communication style to the social distance improved job satisfaction, commitment, and willingness to take action. Understanding construal fit can help managers motivate employees through more effective communication.
This document discusses a communication challenge at a university dining location where the author works as a student manager. Specifically, there is ineffective communication between supervisors, student managers, and regular employees regarding when formal vs casual communication is appropriate and responsibilities. The author analyzes this using Giddens' structuration theory, which explains how social structures emerge from individual actions. To address the problem, the author proposes an intervention plan involving assessing communication needs through employee reviews, implementing regular performance reviews and meetings, and evaluating the results over time to improve cooperation and effectiveness.
· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching.docxalinainglis
· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching civic responsibility, how can this work with both "policies and people" in the school where you become principal?
In order to increase the focus on teaching civic responsibility, policy must be in place supporting this goal. A school leader must be willing to invest time and funds into planning, training, and implementing curriculum that emphasizes civics. Staff members may have different levels of interest, understanding, and comfort when it comes to incorporating civic responsibility into their teaching, so providing professional development in this area would be critical. The strategic plan for integrating civic responsibility and the expectations for each teacher’s involvement should be clearly communicated. In addition to establishing these policies regarding civics education, the school leader and teachers must work to model civic responsibility. In addition to sharing his or her vision for increased focus on civics with the school staff, the school leader should work to share his or her vision with school board members, other district personnel including the superintendent, and the greater community. Lastly, school leaders need to support their staff as they take risks and work to develop and implement new activities, discussions, and projects centered around teaching civic responsibility.
· How will you lead your staff in this part of the curriculum?
In leading my staff in this part of the curriculum, I would work to secure professional development related to civic responsibility, as this is not an area that I have expertise in, and work as a staff to develop our vision and implementation goals. I would also provide examples such as the work of the exemplar schools described in the article in integrating civic responsibility across all content areas, implementing service-learning programs, and creating partnerships between the school and community. I would also work within PLTs to develop ways that civic responsibility could be incorporated within their curriculum and remind them that they have my support as they embark on this endea

DISCUSSION TOPIC 1: Leadership Competencies
READING 1.
Robert House (1996) initially developed Pathgoal theory to explain workplace leadership. The theory builds on two work motivation theories of goal setting and expectancy theory. Goal setting theory is based on the idea that an effective way to motivate employees is to set challenging goals that are both realistic and offer a reward for completion. Expectancy theory helps explain why people work hard to attain goals and suggest employees will work hard if they believe completing their goals will lead to a reward such as a bonus or promotion and that the behaviors they engage in are likely to help them meet their goal. Employees who do not value the reward associated with the goal or believe that a particular behavior will help then reach that goal they will not be motivated to reach their goals (House, 1996).
Pathgoal theory also suggests that effective leaders are the ones who can help there employees reach the goals of the organization and that the leaders have the responsibility to provide the employees the necessary tools, including information and support to reach those goals. Leaders must help their followers with goal attainment by removing obstacles that might prevent them from reaching their goals. It important to consider that pathgoal theory is a contingency theory and an effective leader must adopt a style of leadership that matches the needs of the employees in any given situation. There are four main leadership styles identified by the theory that includes Supportive, Directive, Participative, and Achievement oriented (Avolio, 2007). Supportive leadership requires the leader to identify with the needs of the subordinate and that they create a positive atmosphere for them to work in. Directive leadership requires that a leader give their employees clear guidelines and let them know what is expected of them by enforcing rules and procedures. Participative leadership requires that a leader consult with their subordinates and consider their opinions and suggestions when determining the strategy to meet their goals. Finally, the Achievement oriented style uses a method in which challenging goals are set to emphasize excellence and building confidence that the employees are capable of working to high standards. It is also important to recognize that the style of leadership will depend on environmental factors such as the nature of the task and internal factors such as the experience and abilities of the employees.
For the situation given in this week’s discussion supportive leadership would probably not be the best choice. This is because supportive leadership is most effective when the tasks are somewhat routine, boring, or even dangerous. This type of leadership helps remove negative aspects of the job. Directive leadership is best applied to situations in which there is much uncertainty within the working environment and direction helps clarify and redu.

In the article of the 10 lessons parts 1 through 4 are compared to transformational leadership theory, and a bit of leader–member exchange theory. Transformational Leadership is about new leadership and getting rid of your multiple top members of your leadership can be a bad idea. Not only can this affect the future leaders, but also many of the employees. I was in a unit and they fired our Commander (CC) and our Director of Operations (DO), our unit was in a very low standard until we received our new CC and DO. Losing them at the same time was hard on them, because they had to gain our trust quickly and some of the advice they got wasn’t from the best of other employees. Replacing one at a time is better for many reason, but mainly for continuity and to give the employees time to adjust and adapt to their new leader. The leader–member exchange theory is shown in 1 through 4 because when you have a great relationship with your previous boss, it can carry over with what they say about you. In the military when the new leaders come in to the unit the higher-ranking members normally go over the members of the unit and give an insight on the member. This is usually a good thing and also sometimes can be a bad thing based on the relationship that you made with the leadership.
In 5 the Great man theory is present based on getting the right man for the job. This theory is part of the trait approach, so giving a person a job that he excels at is better than a person who doesn’t have the right qualities for the position. I am not a very good writer and organizer, so being an assistant or secretary is not a good job for me. My wife would be great because she is very organized and can write very well, she would be the better fit if we both went for a position.
For 6 through 10 the leader–member exchange theory could be close to these. Your relationship with your people will open you up to want to know more about the culture and make it right within your area. With 7-9 the trust that you get is giving each member a special relationship with them. This is built on trust and communication with these members. Telling the truth is pivotal to the relationship with the unit or company that you lead. I was in a meeting and a fellow Airman told me that his Commander failed his physical fitness test, and he got up and told his unit that he failed them and couldn’t not continue to be in command until he was fit. My friend had great respect for him because I am sure that was very hard to do. When you are in a leadership position keeping communication limited is key. How many times have you heard people in leadership positions spreading gossip? I have and that makes me stay away from them and not want to tell them. 10 is difficult because sometimes you may not know your leadership is changing. Being myself in a leadership position, I also use my relationships to train others to do my job in case of an absen ...

Schwartz outlines the importance of using practical wisdom. Practical wisdom is the moral will to do the right thing and the skill to know the right thing (TED Conferences, LLC, 2011). A wise person can be flexible when dealing with others and knows how to bend the rules for the greater good with the proper needs in mind. Practical wisdom requires the person to have a desire to do the right thing.
Schwartz uses the example of a teacher who listened to a consultant trying to help the school boost its test scores. The consultant’s advice was for educators not to waste their time on students who will pass the test, don’t waste time on students who won’t pass no matter what, and kids whose scores will not matter. This consultant’s idea is to focus on the bubble kids, the kids that will make a difference. The teacher was upset by this advice because she believed all students matter. Schwartz’s point is that rules are essential, but some rules will demoralize the practitioners and the practice. Rules and incentives create people who only work for the incentive.
Similarly, we, as educators, work to reach students through incentives. Students begin to work for the incentive rather than the desire to learn. Thankfully there is a way out of the rules and incentive system through people willing to be system changers. The system changers use courage not to leave the system but to work to change the system (TED Conferences, LLC, 2011).
Courage is needed to make system changes. We have policies and rules because we see the importance of having a standard of operation. However, not every situation fits the standard. Therefore, flexibility and practical wisdom matter. Fromberg presents the idea of high-stakes testing as sanctioned child abuse. She highlights the importance of play and risk-taking in the learning process. Unfortunately, administrators and teachers are placed in positions to use standardized tests and scripted lessons. However, there are system changers using courage to br.

Discussion Questions should be at least 3-4 paragraphs long including citations
Discussion #1
In my experience, I have seen both effective and ineffective leaders. Effective leaders have a number of positive characteristics. The most important characteristics is passion. In order to be effective, one must display a passion in their role. Passion is essential in higher education. While decision making is a critical part of being a leader, it should be accompanied with passion. Passion helps leaders to strive for the best interest of those who would be affected. For example, at an institution I worked at, there was a struggle of power between the dean of students and other administrators. The dean was attempting to meet the needs of the students by utilizing the budget to upgrade the student center; however, administration saw the need to utilize funds for other means. The passion of the dean to serve the students is what provided fuel to fight for change. Passion isn’t the only characteristic to be an effective leader of change. Good judgement and active listening are characteristics that an effective leader must also have. In order to strategically be effective, one must listen to the concerns of the stakeholders of the stakeholders and utilized good judgement in navigating the best interests of the institution.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities provide plays a more significant role in student development that minorities at Predominantly White Institutions.
The key stakeholders to this issue are students, administration, and faculty. These stakeholders are relevant to this issue for several reasons. Minority students at Predominantly White Institutions deserves the same level of engagement as students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Minority Serving Institutions are the gold standard in terms of engagement. Administration are invested in this issue as well. Their mission is not only to develop students, but to provide a fair and comparable learning environment to those students as well. Faculty are also invested due to the fact that it is their role in the students’ future. Educators, just like all parents, want their students to have the best educational experience as possible.
What is the benefit of attending a Predominantly White Institutions?
What accommodations are made for minority students at Predominantly White Institutions?
How do minority students fare at Historically Black Colleges and Universities?

1-an explanation of why the
Marbury v. Madison
case is a landmark decision. Then briefly describe the Supreme Court case you reviewed and explain the significance of the
Marbury v. Madison
decision on the outcomes of the case. Be specific.
Note: Put the name of the Supreme Court case you reviewed in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who selected a different Supreme Court case than you did.
Powers of the Supreme Court
There are a number of Supreme Court cases that have significantly impacted law and public policy. As you progress through the course, you will review many of these cases. For this Discussion, you are asked to consider the significance of the
Marbury v. Madison
case.
In the presidential election of 1800, Thomas Jefferson defeated the incumbent president, John Adams, a Federalist. Before John Adams left office, he appointed judges and justices of the peace for the District of Columbia who also were Federalists. All of the appointments for the new judges and justices of the peace were approved in a mass Senate hearing. However, four of the justices of the peace did not receive their commissions before John Adams’ presidency was over. One of these justices of the peace, William Marbury, petitioned the Supreme Court to force James Madison, the new Secretary of State under Jefferson, to deliver his commission. Marbury cited the Judiciary Act of 1789 which gave the Supreme Court the power to take such an action. In the end, Chief Justice John Marshall of the Supreme Court declared that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional and then denied Marbury’s petition.
This decision was the first time in history that the Supreme Court deemed a legislative act to be unconstitutional. As a direct result of the case, the concept of judicial review was established and the checks and balances of the U.S. Government were further defined.
2-a brief explanation of the Supreme Court’s role in policy making. Then describe two strengths and two limitations of the Supreme Court’s role in policy making.
Role of the Supreme Court in Policy Making
While the U.S. Supreme Court is extremely powerful, theoretically, it is not able to create law or public policy in the way that Congress or the President does. However, the Supreme Court is able to review public policies or laws that are disputed and determine their constitutionality. Supreme Court justices must determine which cases or disputes to hear and then determine if the laws or policies in such cases are constitutional. If they rule that the laws or policies are unconstitutional, they make recommendations about how the laws or policies should be changed or adapted. In this way, the Supreme Court engages in policy making.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Preface and Introduction in the course text,
Landmark Supreme Court Cases: The Most Influential Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States.

1845. Polk wanted to lay claim to California, New Mexico, and land near the
disputed southern border of Texas. Mexico, however, was not so eager to let
go of these territories. What ensued later is referred in the historical records as
the Mexican American War. Examine the causes that precipitated the
Mexican American War, as well as the end result of this conflict.

The Science of Learning: implications for modern teachingDerek Wenmoth
Keynote presentation to the Educational Leaders hui Kōkiritia Marautanga held in Auckland on 26 June 2024. Provides a high level overview of the history and development of the science of learning, and implications for the design of learning in our modern schools and classrooms.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

Case Study - The New Principal
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
I can identify with this case study more than any other one
because I lived it to some degree just two years ago. Much like
the principal in this study I had to choose what I wanted to
tackle as I stepped into the position and which things I wanted
to sit back and observe for the time being. The new principal's
decision to create quality teams, in my opinion, was brilliant
considering the situation. The principal was dealing with a very
influential teacher leader that had campus leverage, was driven
enough to earn a doctorate degree, and savvy enough to be the
president of the local teachers union. Giving the teachers more
of a voice played into the role of a teachers' union which is to
speak for teachers and maintain a balance of power. The
principal achieved that and I'd say he dared Dr. Neuman to fight
a decision that teachers would likely be in favor of and one that
as the union president, he should have been advocating. Razik
and Swanson (2010) point out that change should be viewed as
a psychological process as well as an intellectual one. They also
point out that people will resist change if they feel like their
perceived power or influence will be reduced or that they could
be seen as obsolete. In this case, the principal seems to have
approached the situation not from a heavy-handed path but from
calculated, psychological one. He also understood that Dr.
Neuman would likely feel threatened with the arrival of a new
principal especially considering the lack of effectiveness of the
previous one. Dr. Neuman's influence had likely grown in the
last days or weeks of the former principal, partly because upper-
level leadership lacked.
I believe that the change agent is both the principal and Dr.
Neuman. The principal has the authority by title but Dr.
Neuman as the authority by social status. The new principal
2. communicated to the staff that they have a voice and that they
should be heard. It also told them that though they were not lead
well before that they are the classroom experts and that they
should play a part in doing what needs to be done to take care
of their students. The supports in this change are the teachers
that will be on the quality teams and the superintendent. The
teachers have a vested interest because they are serving on the
team and having a say in what happens next. The superintendent
is the one that chose the principal and the one that has been
advising him. The potential dissenters are Dr. Neuman and
anyone that has been loyal to his leadership or his way of
thinking.
I support the move that was made by the principal. I would go a
step further and meet with Dr. Neuman to get his thoughts and
to better understand his point of view. His uncomfortable as it
could be I would draw him in as closely as I could. Speaking
with him wouldn't be in an advisory role but as information
gathering. I would want to know what elements of his position
mean the most to him and understand what the campus means to
him. Proverbs 16:7 (ESV) offers good reasoning for doing what
is right in the face of potential adversity when it says, "when a
man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies be at
peace with him. Engaging someone that could potentially have
ill intentions is not easy but it provides a place to collaborate
and show love.
I feel like the principal used the social interaction model to
begin the change. He understood the position that Dr.
Neuman held but he obviously wanted to leverage the greater
power possessed by the other teachers. This model lends itself
to a collaborative way of thinking. Though much of the thought
process has to do with Dr. Neuman the real concentration needs
to be on those that are eager to see greater things happen at the
school. My approach to the quality teams would be to seek to
understand them first. They will likely want to know what my
vision is and how I operate but asking the right questions will
be key to helping them see my heart for students and show them
3. how much I value their individual and corporate leadership.
Quality management would predominantly focus on developing,
setting, managing, and meeting markers. Those that meet the
standards would be celebrated often and those that were not in
support would be spoken with individually about their ideas and
reasons for resistance for a coaching standpoint at first. After
that, the conversation would turn towards helping them find a
place that they would happier serving students.

COLLAPSE

What do you think about the "pot-stirring" approach that the
new principal decided on? What are its advantages? What are its
disadvantages?The term pot-stirring has a negative connotation.
I don’t consider his proposed changes to be negative. The
system needs to change for personal and professional reasons.
Knowing that the previous principal stepped down due to a vote
of no confidence (Razik & Swanson, 2010, p. 268), the new
principal had to make some changes as a power move. The
power move would ensure those poised against him would have
to work to get him a voted out if that is there intention. The
advantages of the power move would be to establish authority,
by showing his staff that he cares for their well-being by giving
them power by creating quality teams these teams would allow
them to have more input into the daily operations of the school
and also provide space for them to collaborate. The
disadvantage of this would be if the staff are quite comfortable
in the system they currently operate. The principal would a well
thought out plan that is specific to his current school and its
personnel. The plan would also need to include this-then-that
scenarios built into the plan. The plan would also include bench
4. marks to ensure the plan is making the desired changes.
Identify the following in the case: the change agent, potential
supporters, and potential dissenters.Dr. Jack Prince the new
principal is the change agent. He was initially told that there
would be a personnel issue before he started his position as the
new principal but waited and observed to formulation his own
opinion. Soon after observing the issues first hand the made
way to react to the issue sooner than later.The teachers and staff
members outside of and within the business school department
are potential supporters of the proposed changes. Dr. Neuman,
from reading the case study can be characterized as a bully in
my opinion. Some of his seemingly supporters might be ready
for a change. If not ready for the changes proposed by Dr.
Prince, they might be ready to change to do what is best for
their students. The superintendent Dr. Amy Kim would surely
be a supporter of Dr. Prince’s initiative, especially as it would
take some power from Dr. Neuman and raise the level of
teaching and curriculum of the business department.Dr. Neuman
and some members of the business school staff are potential
dissenters. I feel as though Dr. Neuman would pose the most
dissention. His loss of power of his business department when it
is placed in the hands of the quality teams, might cause him to
act out. I could also see that the general staff members quite
comfortable in the way the system currently runs might dissent
outwardly or in quiet protest by not actively participating in the
proposed changes. The superintendent might also be a dissenter.
In their first meeting the superintendent told Dr. Prince that the
educators were effective, liked by the student body, and
considered highly competent (Razik & Swanson, 2010, p. 368).
If any of these things change by the proposed changes, the
superintendent could lose faith in the new principal.
What would you have done in this situation? Why? Explain your
proposal in terms of the material discussed in this chapter.If I
were in the new role as principal and observed the same things
that Dr. Prince observed I also would have devised a plan to
make some changes. I more than likely would concentrate my
5. initial changes to the business department. Especially if the
observations of the superintendent were the same things I
observed. If the business school was operating on dated
curriculum, students avoided their classes, and the business
school staff members were complacent (Razik & Swanson,
2010, p. 368), the changes in this department would be the most
impactful on all other departments. If Dr. Neuman and his
department were brought up to current standards that would
speak volumes to the other departments. It is surprising that the
business department has not had a negative effect on the rest of
the school, especially if it is a known issue. If the
superintendent knows I am sure those internal to the school
know.
Identify a task that you, as a new principal, might want to
accomplish with your faculty. How would you go about this?
What part might quality management play? How would you deal
with potential supporters? Potential dissenters?As a principal I
would want to establish open lines of communication. I would
want to get their opinions on what changes are desired. I would
devise a long-range plan with the staff member desires of what
the changes would entail. I would give them a time-line of when
the proposed changes would take effect. I would set a time-line
to allow time to make a well thought out plan, that require staff
member input and planning committees. These planning
committees would allow me as principal to spend more time
making immediate changes in the business department. The
potential supporters would be staff and faculty members in all
departments, especially those staff member that actively
participate in the change management processes. Supporters of
the potential change especially those most involved in the
planning processes would probably be recognized as team
leaders and be tasked with briefing others on the proposed
changes. I would then find ways to reward those financially if
the budget permits, or provide professional project management
training if funding were available. Because Dr. Neuman is the
president of the local teacher’s union I would consult with the
6. legal department and human resources to ensure all
documentation was proper and in order just in case his
dissention to change became a legal issue.ReferencesRazik, T.

Student Name: Click here to enter text.
Access Code (Located on the lid of your lab kit):
Pre-Lab Questions
1. Arrange the following molecules from least to most specific
with respect to the original nucleotide sequence: RNA, DNA,
Amino Acid, Protein
Click here to enter text.
2. Identify two structural differences between DNA and RNA.
3. Suppose you are performing an experiment in which you must
use heat to denature a double helix and create two single
stranded pieces. Based on what you know about nucleotide
bonding, do you think the nucleotides will all denature at the
same time? Use scientific reasoning to explain why.
Experiment 1: Coding
Procedure:
1. With the red, blue, yellow and green beads, you will use
three color code for each of the following letters (codon). For
instance, the code for codon E is RGB, or red-green-blue.

2. Using this code, align the beads corresponding to the
appropriate letter to write the following sentence (don’t forget
start, space and stop):
a) The mouse likes most cheese
b) How many beads did you use?
There are multiple ways your cells can read a sequence of DNA
and build slightly different proteins from the same strand. We
will not go through the process here, but as an illustration of
this “alternate splicing”, remove codons (beads) 52 - 66 from
your sentence above.
c) What does the sentence say now? (re-write the entire
38. sentence)
Mutations are simply changes in the sequence of nucleotides.
There are three ways this occurs:
1. Change a nucleotide(s)
2. Remove a nucleotide(s)
3. Add a nucleotide(s)
3. Using the sentence The mouse likes most cheese.:
a. Change the 24th bead to a different color.
What letter was affected:
Re-write the sentence (in codons):
Does the new sentence make sense? If not, write the words that
still make sense (using the code):
b. Replace the 24th bead and remove the 20th bead (remember
what was there).
What letter was affected:
Re-write the sentence (in codons):
Does the new sentence make sense? If not, write the part that
does make sense (using the code):
c. Replace the 20th bead and add one between bead numbers 50
and 51.
What was affected:
Re-write the sentence (in codons):
Does the new sentence make sense? If not, write the part that
does make sense (using the code):
d. In 3.a (above) you mutated one letter. What role do you think
the redundancy of the genetic code plays in this type of change?
e. Based on your observations, why do you suppose the
mutations we made in 3.b and 3.c are called frame shift
mutations?
f. Which mutations do you suspect have the greatest
consequence? Why?
39. Experiment 2: Transcription and Translation
Procedure

1. Write the sentence using the beads, and then write the coded
40. sentence in the space below.
2. How many beads did you use?
3. Assign one Pop-It® bead to represent each codon. You do not
need to assign a Pop-It® bead for the start, stop and space
regions. These will be your amino acids. Then, connect the Pop-
It® beads to build the chain of amino acids that code for your
sentence (leave out the start, stop, and space regions).
a. How many different amino acids did you use?
b. How many total amino acids did you use?
