CONCLUSION

WHAT DOES LEADERSHIP MEAN TO ME NOW?

The contents of this subject have been enlightening to me, I did not know much about leadership before, even though I had been a leader in many situations, without even realising about it.

I used to think

Now I think

That school leadership was just about principals, coordinators and sometimes classroom teachers. That leadership was not something that I was necessarily going to develop during my professional career. That there were universal traits in leadership.

I have realised that school leadership is something that needs to be shared and collaborative. That all members of a school community should participate in leadership decisions and develop leadership skills. That leadership is something I want to work on, and that I need to evolve, recycle myself and discover my own leadership skills. That leadership traits are not universal and we should always take into account the context.

I just wanted to reflect a little bit about how my idea of leadership has changed over this last months. As I want to become a PYP teacher, I think this subject was really important for my professional development and has changes a lot my conception of education in international contexts and in general.

I hope you have liked the blog and learnt something from me.
