Leadership Scenarios

Directions: Read each leadership scenario below and select one as the focus for the topic assignment.

Scenario 1:

Over the past few weeks, there have been multiple concerns brought to your attention about bullying in fifth grade. Many of these concerns have come from parents who have discovered mean/unkind things being said outside of school via text and social media. In addition, teachers now have concerns about how students are treating each other during class as a result of the unkind actions happening outside of school. It is evident that you are handling these incidents with disciplinary actions according to the student handbook; however, the behavior is not changing, and this continues to be an ongoing concern.

Scenario 2:

Your district is currently transitioning from traditional grading processes to a standards-based mindset for grading. This shift directly affects teachers, students, and parents. Teachers will have to change their current practices by removing behaviors from grades, such as no penalties for late work, allowing for students to retake assessments for mastery, and changing their syllabus to reflect rubric grading instead of percentages. Parents and students will now need to learn about rubric scales for grading instead of percentages. In addition, this could also change the way in which we recognize traditional academic achievements such as Principal’s List, Honor Roll, and grade point averages.
