Self-assessment reflection
In completing the Superintendent Competency Self-Assessment I was amazed at the number of areas that I have gone from a C or an I to an S. The knowledge that I have garnered with my coursework combined with my day-to-day work activities has really combined to make me much better prepared to take the next step in my career.
My strengths are in the areas of communication and curriculum and instruction. I have an affinity for the classroom and there is no place I’d rather be than watching a teacher connect with the students in his/her classroom. This leads me to feel extremely comfortable with Domains I and II. I feel comfortable speaking with all sizes of groups and enjoy doing research to figure out a problem and keep abreast of the trends that are affecting education.
My concern and area that I need to do the most work in is in Domain III dealing with the financial aspects of the superintendency and dealing with the maintenance and support of district facilities. When working on the assignment that dealt with the financial worksheets and templates, I felt completely inadequate. After speaking with some friends who work as superintendents and in central office, I felt better because they said the templates could make them feel inadequate also. While I continue with my educational growth, I will focus more on the financial and facility aspects of a superintendent’s responsibilities so that I can be well prepared for when I step into a district’s lead administrator.
