Reflection:
The values and ethics of leadership is an indispensable competency to have as a leader in education. Recognizing the role of education through the lens of a democratic society, as well as being fluent in the ethical requirements of an educational leader all lead to better outcomes for everyone involved in an educational organization. Nearly all of my courses, in some regard, touched on the standards embedded in the values and ethics competency, meaning I was able to reflect deeply on the important and sometimes difficult actions and decisions a leader must make for the good of the organization. Very practically speaking, Methods of Research also introduced me to systems and structures that support ethical leadership such as working with Institutional Review Boards. My learning and practical application will be invaluable as move forward in my leadership.
