EDLD5333_Course Reflection


This course was very different than what I was used to. The course title was also misleading coming from business management background; it’s unfortunately that I see leadership and accountability in a very different light than educators. One of our exercises was to understand AEIS report. Since, I never worked on a campus before; I really did not know what was needed for the Campus Improvement Plan and the Role of a Site Based Decision Maker (SDBM) and their involvement at the school they oversee. Authors Sullivan, Hollenshead, and Smith (2004) wrote administrators can and should use data to measure and guide an institution’s progress on work-family objectives.

Through this learning development, I know that I am still weak in my knowledge and understanding of the Campus Improvement Plan and the Role of a Site Based Decision Making. Accordingly, I think that the concept of the CIP and SDBM are both set out to provide a greater conceptual knowledge for exploring how school administrators and teachers can measure that strength and weakness as in co-operation involvement social encounters that may trigger processes of reactive learning. Innovative programs to prepare principals for this role include internships under mentor principal guidance and genuine cooperation between universities and school districts (Shute, 1989). As illustrated above, I first outline how in my view that a Campus Improvement Plan and the Role of a Site Based Decision Maker (SDBM) are similar related or matched within the campus supervised team.

In this course, I also learned about the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The laws govern this act requires that all schools receiving NCLB funds must have experience qualified teachers. The incentive plan for NCLB is to provide low-income students with experience qualified teachers to improve on student academic achievements. I firmly believe in the intent of No Child Left Behind. Reading and Writing the context of Astronomy improves the students’ abilities in all curses (Krumenaker, 2009). After completion of this course, I somewhat understands the overview of the operations of a Campus Improvement Plan, Site Base Decision Making, and No Child Left Behind Act. In summary, if school campuses score do not meet the State’s required score rate; then it’s a greater possibility that the school that’s is sanction as underperforming will lose State funds as a default for not meeting the educational needs of students
