Engaging teachers in a conversation about students’ academic success and well-being is a critical component of effective educational leadership that will lead to the development and support of intellectually rigorous and coherent systems of curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience. Interview two teachers, ideally from two different school settings (e.g., public, charter, private). Ask each teacher about: In addition, review at least one lesson plan and one supplemental material from each teacher that aligns to the school’s curriculum plan and/or the state’s academic standards, and reflect how each supports the teacher’s ability to meet the needs of all students. Use any remaining field experience hours to observe and/or assist the principal mentor. Complete a 250-500 word reflection on your experiences. Incorporate PSEL Standard 2 into your reflection, along with any additional PSEL standards you feel apply, and describe how you will apply what you have learned to your future professional practice.
