The Instructional Technology Leadership course helped to build my skills as a teacher leader at my school. The major project for the course was a SWOT analysis. This assignment required me to look at Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats at my school as we planned for technology needs. I found the assignment very rewarding because I had never had the chance to think about my school via the SWOT.
Many times when leaders try to implement a change initiative at a school, they forget about Threats to their plan available in the school. We all know that Threats are present, whether they are in the form of lack of money or actual people. Using the SWOT to actually focus on those Threats will allow me to have more success in any initiative I attempt in the future.
