01:555 Administrative Leadership in Educational Institutions  Summary: This course was the fifth course that I took in my Master’s program. This was an interesting course that examined Leadership styles and allowed me to articulate a leadership plan for the future based on information that was gleaned on personality traits and leadership styles. The readings and assignments were very pertinent to my educational leadership situation and were invaluable. The writing of a formal paper to examine principal leadership was an assignment that was greatly appreciated. Here we could look at the research of prominent educational leaders with respect to leadership and formulate our own perspectives.  Benefits/Resultant Knowledge  The ability to self-reflect on leadership style and then articulate a specific plan was very useful. It was something that all students could go and put into action practically as soon as it was articulated. This allowed for growth and maturity in our leadership undertakings no matter at what point they may have been.  Professional Use  As mentioned, the leadership style report and leadership for learning and articulation of the plan was able to be set in motion immediately. Having a stated plan that could be referred to as necessary, was invaluable. Being aware of one’s style, a plan could be set in motion and followed for the benefit of their educational workplace. As well, with the writing of the formal paper, a plan was articulated based on one’s educational realm of influence and a concerted effort could be made to follow and implement the plan.
