Standards Reflection

Our recent management class focused on three Iowa Administrator Standards but the standard that I now understand even more is Standard 3: "A school administrator is an educational leader who promotes the success of all students by ensuring management of the organization, operations, and resources for a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment."  Every activity, presentation, assignment, and guest speaker discussed how this standard affects school administrators on a daily basis.    Management issues can consume a majority of an administrators time, but through this class I was able to gain new insights into management issues.   Not only did I gain insight but I was able to make some new connections to current administrators within the area.  I am looking forward to the management challenges that administrators face and feeling comfortable to use the new resources from this class.
