Through my data analysis of our school’s SIP, I was able to identify the All-boys program as an area of improvement. Through my 5 years of experience as an All-boys teacher, I have seen many of our veteran teachers leave the All-boys program to seek other opportunities. Since the majority of our All-boys teachers have limited teaching experience, many of the All-boys strategies have dissipated. I believed the most effective method of improvement would be to develop a monthly newsletter to provide valuable All-boys education information on instructional strategies. This newsletter has given our new teachers a concrete document to refer to when seeking advice. Presently, administration and teachers are thoroughly enjoying the newsletter because it doesn’t just save valuable time by not meeting as a program, but it enables the program to work together as an unit.
Initially, I believed this project could be developed relatively quickly on a monthly basis, but I quickly learned that creating a monthly newsletter can be time-consuming. When developing the newsletter, I needed to do extensive research to provide the most valuable information to our teachers. Additionally, I wanted to use visuals and examples to help their understanding of the program.
After completing the newsletters, I’ve learned that effective communication with your staff is imperative in becoming a successful leader. Leaders can also save valuable time by creating concrete resources for the teachers to use.
