Vision Statement
It is West Avenue School’s vision to create a learning community where students are self-motivated and self-regulated through rigorous and consistent expectations at all grade levels. West Avenue is a school that recognizes the potential of all students and promotes the resilience to overcome challenges. A place of learning where staff, parents, administrators, and community members work in unison to model positive morals and values so that students attain the necessary skills to be contributing members of society.
I believe that a leader should possess a common standard of conduct. There must be integrity, trust, honesty, high ethics and high moral standards. There has to be a willingness to accept other people’s points of view and appreciate their individual beliefs and biases.
There needs to be a commitment to help others succeed. I will allow each person to be themselves as long as the interaction is professional. I believe as a leader I should allow people to feel confident that are being noticed, are needed, and are an important part of the school community.
As a leader I must be able to motivate those under my charge. I want to be a leader where people can depend on me and I can provide them with direction when asked for assistance. I expect, as a leader, that people be trustworthy, a critical and practical thinker, and one who continues to seek out professional development.
As a leader what is important to me is to possess the shared values mentioned above and lead people without force or threat, practice distributed leadership, and to be a risk-taker. I dislike people who cheat the ones that they serve by not providing them with the best service that they deserve. I also have a dislike for people who lie, cheat, and/or put people down in an effort to advance themselves. I believe that all people should be treated fairly. A good education is a major part of the KEY to SUCCESS!
