A. What do you think will be your greatest challenge as you lead in the area of mathematics?
As I am not one to lead in the area of math at this point, I'm not quite sure what my greatest challenge would be. If I were still at a school, I would say the greatest challenge would be getting teachers to use effective practices to ensure students are understanding the how and not just getting the "correct" answer.
B. What obstacles do you anticipate?
With anything else....change is an uncomfortable concept for many to embrace. This is always an obstacle when getting your staff to move from good to great.
C. What aspect of leadership do you feel most prepared for?
I feel most prepared for providing professional development to teachers and being a data-driven instructional leader.
I am most comfortable with the data as well. There are all types of data that can inform instruction including administrator data of teachers. Discipline is also a form of data that can become a focal point for improving schools. I love data and the concrete answers that it provides.
