My Reflection on Meeting This Standard:

 * Doing all the logs and diary reflections acted as reinforcement of ideas of the day. There are many skills needed to be an effective leader in any school. I think my organizational skills and exposure to different curriculums on the high school level will add to my toolbox when performing as an effective principal.

Future Learning goals:

 * Participating in the next internship program with a new principal. Doing more walkthroughs I think is urgent to gain more knowledge about the school problems and idiosyncracies. I will shadow my new principal as much as possible and work on some more state reporting and analysis.


 * I am looking forward to applying for a principal position soon after I complete the second internship.
