Linking Statement

These goals align with my Professional Context Statement as an Inclusion Teacher transitioning into leadership, where my focus is on evaluating and sustaining school-wide innovations that promote inclusion and engagement. They also build upon my Course Learning Goals, particularly in developing skills for leading, assessing, and refining educational innovations to create lasting, meaningful change. This subject deepens my understanding of evidence-based leadership by equipping me with evaluation tools and methodologies to measure and enhance school-wide improvement efforts.

 

Wrapping up & Progression from Prior Learning

Through 014226 - Leading Innovative Practices, I developed the skills to identify opportunity spaces, design solutions, and implement change initiatives addressing critical school needs, such as staff morale and student engagement. In 014227 Evaluating Learning and Innovation, it has further refined these efforts by measuring their effectiveness, making data-informed refinements, and embedding long-term evaluation mechanisms to sustain change. This subject strengthens my leadership capacity by ensuring that innovation in education is both strategic and impactful, reinforcing my long-term goal of becoming a school leader and, ultimately, a principal who drives transformational change through rigorous evaluation and evidence-based practice.
