1. Matt Bednorz Leadership Snapshot Winter Quarter 2013

2. The 360 Leadership Survey is a tool that can be used to determine the personal and relational leadership skills that affect success. I have three survey results, two were filled out by my colleagues and one by me. There are seven categories below. The red or first score is my score, the blue or second score is the score from a fellow teacher and the green or third score is from my principal. I.Self Awareness15 / 13 / 16 out of 16 II.Self Regulation11 / 12 / 11 out of 12 III.Motivation14 / 15 / 16 out of 16 IV.Empathy12 / 11 / 12 out of 12 V.Interpersonal Relationships 15 / 15 / 16 out of 16 VI.Communication Skills16 / 23 / 24 out of 24 VII.Managing Conflict21 / 26 / 28 out of 28 2 360 Leadership Survey

3. These are my strengths from the 360 Leadership Survey. (Areas in all three surveys that scored a 4 out of 4)  Possess self confidence  Is able to control or redirect disruptive impulses and moods  Has passion to work and a propensity to pursue goals  Is able to understand the emotional makeup of other people  Is cross-culturally sensitive  Establishes and maintains openness, finds common ground and builds rapport  Is perceived by supervisor, staff, colleagues and others in the school community as someone who is professional 3

4. 360 Leadership Survey There were some areas where there was a higher level of discrepancy which could indicate an area of improvement. In categories VI. and VII. the three scores were the most diverse of the survey. Both of these categories deal with effective communication which is a area in which I think I could improve upon. 4

5. Gregorc Assessment The Gregorc Assessment is designed to help reveal a special set of mental qualities and mediation channels available to you for handling the demands and opportunities of life. I have never used this assessment before and upon completing it was quite intrigued of the result. The Gregorc can be a very useful tool to use to help an individual find the best path for them to learning but also for people on a team. Understanding the dynamics of a team is one step closer to having a cohesive group that will work together and make decisions based on best practices for all students. 5

9. Leadership Summary How will you articulate your area of focus for leadership growth and development? The 360 Leadership Survey and the Gregorc Assessment have helped me look at my leadership skill and where I need to focus. The areas from the 360 Survey and Gregorc in which I need to improve upon the most also corresponds with Standard V: Principals Demonstrate Managerial Leadership. This Standard has two sub groups V b and V c which both have to do with the results from my 360 Survey. These two categories are Conflict Management and Systematic Communication which were the two areas on my survey in which the surveys had the greatest differentiation between those who took it and where I feel I should focus my leadership growth. 9

10. Leadership Summary How will you engage others in supporting your personal leadership growth and development? As a veteran teacher, I think that I can help support other younger teachers in my social studies department. I was a mentor to one from last year and am for another one this year. I can make sure that those teachers as well as others outside of my department are kept in the loop pertaining to the communication of the school. During our team meetings, I discuss protocols of how scheduling is done for next year, assist teachers with their online evaluations, and work through the data team process. I will also help our anyone on our team with conflict management by talking with teachers through tough situations with students, parents and administration. 10

11. Leadership Summary Given you areas of strengths and weakness how will you position yourself as a strong support of the principal and administrative team? The best way to support the administrative team at EHS is to provide support of other staff in the AVID program. Currently our AVID program is in its 6 th year at our school but the implementation process is still taking place especially since we have so many new teachers. There are numerous AVID strategies that I use in my classroom that need to carry over to other classes for AVID to be successful. I need to use my teacher leader skills to try to help promote AVID strategies throughout the school to increase the level of rigor. Additionally, I was recently asked by the principal to present to the staff on a professional development late start Monday about “flipping the classroom”. I have been video taping lesson notes and posting them on Youtube for my AP European History class this semester and he would like me to give a presentation on how to do that and ways in which it enables me to use class time for more writing, debates and discussions. 11
