Reflection:

Given my inclusion on our District Leadership Team for the last three years, I have done a great deal of learning on judgement and problem analysis through my role as a coordinator of learning. That said, this is an area where growth is always needed given the huge implications it can have on an organizational system. Through my coursework, I grew in this area tremendously, particularly through the learning I engaged in in courses like Leadership, Planning and Organizational Behavior and Admin of the Secondary School. Both of these courses dug deeply into utilizing specific tools to support judgement and problem analysis, increasing the likelihood that various perspectives will have been considered and multiple choices will have been vetted, all of which supports the best possible decisions being made for the system. ​I intend to carry on using these tools and strategies to support my choices and decision making in the future.
