What are you looking forward to in this course?

I am hoping to add to my toolbox as I plan on becoming a principal one day.
When we were asked today to write about who has been a catalyst in our teaching, I wrote about three principals. These three principals have been great examples of leadership in its many forms. They mentored, cared, shared, and empowered me. I really admired each of them. One day, I want to make a difference, like they did, for my colleagues, students and school. I'm hoping that a course like this, along with the others I will take, will help me develop into that kind of person and principal.
As for Instructional Leadership: we all will pick and choose parts of the definition that are important and relevant to us. It seems that in all the texts, resources and definitions, that an emphasis on curriculum, pro-d and improved student achievement are mentioned. There are some big shoes to fill and lots to learn, but if I knew it all, then why would I need this course?? :) I think taking these courses keeps me grounded and makes me realize that I always will have so much to learn!

Teaching these courses has the same effect on my, Angelina. So much to learn! Yes, big shoes to fill, but as my down-to-earth friend once said, "If other people can do it, you can, too!".
