Think about an event or sequence of events, an issue or experience(s) that you had during the week that was either challenging or successful for you. Describe, analyze, challenge (your thinking) and reconstruct (your new learning-what will you do next time) the experience in a one page reflection. You are required to complete a reflective journal at the end of weeks 1-7 during your internship.

Describe-what your insights, new experiences, issues that arose during the week as you sat in the “leadership” chair.

Analyze-your insights, new experiences, and issues.

Challenge- how did these experiences challenged your core beliefs and understandings.

Reconstruct- what has changed for you? What new learning regarding leadership and who you will be as a leader has occurred for you?

Be sure to connect the State Standards for Principals to your weekly reflection.
