PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS FOR EDUCATIONAL LEADERS
Through the administrative internship, I have had many valuable experiences working side by side with my mentor and internship supervisor.

Standard: Strategically developing, implementing, and evaluating actions to achieve the vision for the school.
Summary: I was responsible for developing and delivering a Professional Development session on; Fear of Love: How Do We Drive Engagement.
Task: This task was connected to the standard by organizing the Professional Development for our school that will guide instruction moving forward for the year.

STANDARD: 5A
Standard: Building and maintaining a safe, caring, and healthy school environment that meets the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs of each student.
Summary: I designed a cohort system for our middle school class dismissal. This cohort system was designed to mitigate any potential spread of COVID-19 between the classes. This system had 2 passing times for all of middle school, Pass 1 would be dismissed right at the bell and Pass 2 would begin once all of the Pass 1 classes had reached their next period.
Task: This task is connected to standard 5a by building a safe and healthy environment for the students by creating a release schedule that is designed to keep potential spread of Covid-19 to potentially inside of just one class "cohort".

Through working with administration, I was able to see that leg work involved in crafting the various policies needed to ensure a safe and healthy environment for the students.

Reflection: This task helped me grow as an administrator by understanding the importance of connecting the content to the standard not just in one grade-level, but ensuring that the curriculum continues to build on itself throughout the Kindergarten through 8th grade curriculum mapping.
