Week 6 Discussion - The Intern Report

The Intern Report

Tuesday, February 11, 2020, 2:42 PM

After reading this weeks

chapter, it confirmed my belief that it's always important to

remain honest and trustworthy even you are confused about a situation. The intern

learned quickly the importance of having these qualities. Throughout her internship she

realized that it wasn't

a good idea as a leader to withhold her confusion because she

knew that it will affect the outcome and also affect others in the process. You never

want to be label as untrustworthy or concealing information since other are depending

on you.

As an aspiri

ng principal, I would have handle the situation a little differently because I

would have made sure I gave clear explicit instructions and a realistic time frame in

order for completion. I would also want to be transparent because this will create a

trusti

ng relationships between myself and my employees. I would also create an open

door policy so that they feel comfortable with confining in me as well as me creating

opportunity. I've learned throughout my internship that it's best to create a family

orienta

ted culture.

Throughout this journey

also learned that it's very hard to balance being a teacher and

an intern not because of balance but because administration naturally sees me as a

teacher first. So I fond my self always having to insert myself into

opportunities or

leadership roles which was extremely hard at times.
