I was extra excited to see what others had to say on this topic because it can seem so simple, yet challenging to actually do. Education is constantly changing and that is what makes us lifelong learners. However, resistance to that change or adapting wrong habits is still too common in education. I believe because when change occurs, not everyone is on board with the reason why the change is coming about. Being a leader means giving every person a reason to believe that the change will benefit them.
Andrea brought up great points about how even though she held the title of the mentor, her and her mentee worked together. There wasn’t a blatant hierarchy- it was a collaboration. I don’t think I stressed this point enough (or at all) in my first post. However, I fully agree that this is the model of a great leader and the relationships with the team. Though leaders may have an idea or know a direction to take, the leader gets on the same level as the group to collaborate, share, and create a successful change.
