...Reflection for ISLLC Standard Two Grand Canyon University EDA-534 July 9, 2014 My partner and myself struggled with the correct format for unwrapping standard 1 of the ISLLC but felt confident after it was summited. Then we received our grade and found out we did not understand the format as well as we thought. We worked collaborate and effectively to understand our misconception on the assignment format. I sort other examples to help clarify what we needed to know. As I found additional information to help us I emailed my partner back and forth. We would also go on line together and made adjustments to the information and format and continuously make modification to our template. We went through several template I think this time it was about 8 trials until we came up with a template that we both agreed upon. It did get a little frustrating sometimes but we both worked very hard to rectify any mistakes we made the last time so not to make any new ones this time. An educational leader needs to wear many hats that are why their administrative staff has to be strong supporters of their vision. Collaboration is not always easy, but it is very important to get anything positively done in the community. This collaboration activity teaches me how to work with someone whether they live close or far away. Mutual respect for each person’s idea, respect each person’s time and schedule, and understanding outside influence are very important to...

...Process Reflection: Week 6 Grand Canyon University: EDA-534 October 2, 2013 I think we did a great job as a group with regards to the standards for this week. I honestly was a little concerned with Crystal’s submission of her three knowledge responses but thankfully Sarah took the initiative to fix it after I had asked if we had enough. Nonetheless, I feel like we all chipped in and did the job successfully. I can’t believe how close we are to completing this class. It has been a great experience so far! Honesty is an important part of being a leader. A true leader is honest with the values they believe in to ensure that each and every person is treated fair and equally. Decisions and systems with a school should hold common values such as integrity, fairness and equality. I know that after speaking to my principal, she had mentioned that education is filled with moments that ethical decisions have to be made. Making the right decisions is a huge part of what being a principal is all about. Students and faculty should not be discriminated based on their perceived differences. As a leader within my class, I try to exhibit these traits in order to create a positive report with all my students no matter who they are. I try to tell my students to consider all points of view in each and every scenario so that the best decision can be made. I truly believe that we, as teachers, must teach our children to learn to appreciate each other no matter what differences...

...Running head: UNWRAPPING ISLLC STANDARD NUMBER Unwrapping ISLLC Standard Number 1 Myka N. Walker Grand Canyon University: EDA 534 January 11, 2012 The initial collaborative learning community assignment was the unwrapping of ISLLC standard number one. A multiplicity of issues was anticipated in the beginning as this was a group assignment. Typically, group assignments can be challenging due to the varying opinions of the group’s membership. In reality, only two problems arose during the unwrapping process. The first problem surfaced in the beginning of the week. Several members of the group were unsure of how to complete the assignment. A discussion took place and each member contributed thoughts about what the assignment required and how it should be completed. The second problem was the division of work. Each of the ISLLC standards consists of four facets: knowledge, skills, enduring understandings and essential questions. There are five members in the yellow group. One group member quickly assumed the leadership role and created a rotating schedule. The schedule allows each person to tackle a different facet of the standards each week. The schedule also allows each person to compile the assignments and submit them. This was a very equitable way to split the work and all group members agreed to follow the schedule. The unwrapping of the ISLLC standards is a valuable process for any future principal. If the standards are going to be tool...

...Process Reflection of ISLLC Standard 1: Lead with Vision Laura Chavez Grand Canyon University: EDA 534 December 3, 2013 Process Reflection As I reflect on unwrapping the ISLLC Standard 1: Leading with Vision, I am pleased to say I think our team did a good job working together. This was my first experience completing an on-line group project, and it was not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. Some of us were at a slight disadvantage with the project being assigned over the holiday which caused some group members unable to contribute much to the project. However, other members contributed more and we were able to successfully complete the assignment. What amazed me was how each of us had our own individual contributions that truly added to the finished product. When I submitted my portion of the assignment, I thought it was well done, but as each team member added his or her own input, I realized I had missed some things. The additions enhanced the meaning of the standard and aided in successful completion and met the standards set forth by the rubric. Needless to say, I am quite pleased with my group! This process has made me realize that shared leadership really can work. I tend to rely on myself. That being said, I took it upon myself to get the group started with the “working document.” However, since I was required to collaborate with others, I witnessed the benefit of sharing the task which ended...

...Process Reflection for Standard 5 Assignment As part of EDA-534, Educational Administration Foundation and Framework, we were assigned the task of analyzing standard five of the ISLLC 2008 standards. My group was able to develop a template by using prior knowledge and skills specific to the task, through enduring understanding, completion of essential questions, and CLC participation related to the standard. Group assignments give students experience for real life situations and experiences for later employment. While completing group assignments, there is always going to be challenges such as including everyone and their ideas, poor group leadership, and ignoring or ridiculing others and their contributions. Our template was a collaborative effort, we were able to participate in discussions, search for data, and trade that data with the other group members because of our strong leadership. One group member created a template that allowed the other group members to insert their own original ideas into the sections. My group creates two different templates and I revise, combine, and add additional enduring understandings and essential questions to finalize the project. Standard five was no different, as a group we have clear goals set for each other. We break down each task into smaller units so that not one person is doing majority of the work and we also set up a timeline that is put in the discussion forum with check points for stages of work that was completed.

...Process Reflection: Standard 1 Ronald Hill Grand Canyon University: EDA 534 July 30, 2014 Process Reflection: Standard 1 Working with team Green and unwrapping the ISLLC Standard 1 was an enormous learning experience for all team members involved. Everyone on the team is positive and motivated to be successful. There were a few issues to overcome, however I see this as process of practice in becoming an educational administrator. The first issue to overcome was just figuring out who was in our group, and somehow communicating with each other. Out of the four people in our group, no one had taken an online course that required Collaborative Learning Groups. Once the team members were identified, it was a just a matter of communicating to get the assignment rolling. The group used emails, text messaging, and the discussion forum to communicate with each other. How to divide the assignment up among group members was another issue the group had to overcome. Once we decided the part that each group member would complete, each member completed his or her part and submitted as his or her part of the final assignment. When a portion of the assignment was published, each group member would give their thoughts, ideas, and opinions on any changes that might need to be made. In order for this to work, all members agreed that critiques or criticism must be made in a positive manner. In conclusion, this was an awesome learning experience for a first assignment. Having group...

...Collaborative Learning Community: ISLLC Standard 3 – Reflection Assignment Rodney Milliner Grand Canyon University: EDA 534 December 12, 2012 The ISLLC Standard 3 was a standard with a lot of information that all administrators should look at. As a collaborative group there were no major problems or concerns as far as assignments. This standard focuses more on management. As I reflect on this standard it is true that you must have technical skills, human skills, and conceptual skills in order to be and successful administrators. As I reflect in the meaning of having technical skills. I think about all administrators having to be able to multi-task and juggle a lot of the school responsibilities as it pertain to being the instructional leader for the campus. Before any schools system can be establish. You must create a working and learning environment that is going to be beneficial for both students and staff. By creating a safe learning and working environment that is nurturing for staff and students, will allow for the development of others to perform at a high standards and achieve student and teacher growth. Looking at the major functions of the school system. My personal experience as an Assistant Principal is that we must create a group of operating systems that will assist in obtaining the school mission and goals. As I look at my school admission and enrollment process, we have to create and environment in which it is customer service oriented and one that...

...Running head: Reflection of ISLLC Standard 5 Process Reflection of ISLLC Standard 5 Grand Canyon University: EDA-534 April 4, 2012 Process Reflection for ISLLC Standard 5 The fourth ISLLC states “A school administrator is an educational leader who promotes the success of all students by acting with integrity, fairness, and in an ethical manner.” This states that while allies in education and stakeholders are essential, a school administrator has a professional duty to behave properly and see that all students and staff are treated ethically. In a commanding position such as an administrator, ethical leadership means that administrators have to make intelligent decisions and do what is fair to all parties involved. It is not than just following the rules; it is living by a personal code of principles. Administrators are confronted with many tough ethical dilemmas, so they need a tough ethical background to help them make decisions. Modeling ethical behavior can have a positive influence on students, teachers, and stakeholders. Ethical assessment is a challenging process because many problems in education are not simple. Schools have become diverse and open-minded, and it is hard for many administrators to truly do the right thing. Integrity is a crucial variable when administrators and educators try to create an environment within a school that is beneficial to learning. Principals have to walk a thin ethical line. For a school to succeed...
