Week 2 Reflection- I have a plan!

This week was fantastic! I really enjoyed the readings and watching the videos.  I gained wonderful insight to what is important as an educational leader. As a principal, you are not simply managing a school. A great leader motivates the teachers, and students. A great leader recognizes that people are what makes a place great. School culture and a positive school climate is important to hiring and retaining your staff. I learned that you have to be a great listener, and also a knowledgeable decision-maker. 


Best of all this week, I finally decided what I am going to be doing my action researchh on... drum roll please...
How can implementing a flipped classroom increase student achievement in my elementary classroom?


I choose this topic to research because this encompasses everything I am passionate about. I love technology, I have a interest in using social media tools in the classroom, and I want to use project-based learning in the classroom. Implementing a flipped classroom will allow me to do this, and do this effectively and efficiently!
