Week 6 Discussion - The Intern Report

The Intern Report

The intern should have learned that its okay to ask clarifying questions.

When things

are not understood, especially around a task to

be completed with an entire group of

teachers its best to understand all parts involved and to ask questions along the

way.

Given the expertise of the

mentor/principal on the subject that should be the

resource that is leaned on even if time constraints

get in the way.

The other lesson that

should be learned is nothing should be assumed and that the assistant principal may be

in the same situation as the intern just in this case with little to no understanding.

No one wants to feel as if they aren't c

apable nor do they want to bug or pester

someone about the same tasks repeatedly.

If I were the principal in this case I would be there to help from start to finish.

If I am the

gate keeper or master of the skill or tasks to be performed, and I wanted

the

professional development to go off without a hitch I would surely be a part of the

process.

I would make sure the teacher understood what the expectations are and

would give them resources to get the task finished.

Being open and honest is the best

way to make sure the relationship can remain

positive.

Being confident in asking questions and making sure you are prepared to

perform what is expected from the principal is the easiest way to make sure things

aren't strained.

Expectations and outcomes

associated with any task should always allow for questions.

Communication is key to making sure things get done when working with groups of

people.
