~Vocabulary Vitalizer~
1. Competencies- Competencies are the measurable or observable knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors critical to successful job performance.
2. Core Competencies- Cluster of extraordinary abilities or related excellencies that is required after consistent striving over the years, and which cannot be easily imitated.
3. Individual Competencies- Personal competencies are about who we are, and have both intra-personal and inter-personal components. They include the basics of anticipation, aptitude, comprehension, deliberation, preferences, and stress tolerance. Inter-personal competencies include both oral and written communications, and the ability to build successful relationships with others.
4. Charisma- a person who withholds an unusual ability for leadership, worthiness of veneration, or the like.
5. "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001"- NCLB supports a standards-based education reform, which is based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. The Act requires states to develop assessments in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades, if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. The Act does not assert a national achievement standard; standards are set by each individual state.
Sorry about having two blogs! I have no idea why, but for some reason I had an "improper" format and the only way I could post was by separating the two blogs.

Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on further exploring some of the vocabulary for the chapters. These chapters really stayed focused on the principal's role with the school setting. But I think its good to get more insight on how the principal's manages a faculty and staff.

Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteThe vocabulary was very limited in these 2 chapters (as seen in my choice of rigorous researcher choice!), but you did a nice job picking out words that were unfamiliar to some audiences.
