Leadership
Throughout my continuing educational journey, I have had many opportunities to be a leader. My belief is that being a leader involves helping others through facilitating experiences. I have led both as an educator where educational understanding was the goal, and also as someone’s peer when the goal went beyond educational needs. From observing other leaders and taking the title myself, I believe that a quality leader is able to provide comfort and support to others as well as to themselves. A leader is able to provide aid to those who need and ask for it, but also is able to teach through example how to set standards. They are commonly someone who is approachable and transparent in their own journey.
I have been developing my own philosophy of leadership from what it was at the beginning of my journey as a music educator. I find that the ability of a leader to connect with their learners and provide them a positive learning experience begins with preparation. One experience that began my understanding of this was through my time as a summer camp leader. I received practice in creating day long engagement activities, which furthered the progress in my abilities to compose experience designs.
I aim to continue developing the leadership skills so that I may be able to provide a meaningful musical experience to all of my students.
