Ah-ha Moment....

I had an ah-ha moment while writing my assignment on a critical incident in a school and examining the educational leadership theories associated with the issue.

"An epiphany that came from this reflection is the realization that school structures are living, breathing reactionary organisms. Healthy stimulus and inputs will produce positive and healthy outputs. Integrity driven actions will produce morally sound reactions. Hence, the school structure must be comprised of individuals willing and eager to make positive decisions, reactions and actions. Developing a shared vision within the school will allow for individuals to demonstrate their ownership of the vision through their actions, communications and interactions. However, for this to occur, educational leadership must foster a platform for these attitudes to be prevalent within the school." - U Shah
