Leadership+Inventories


 * 21st Century School Administrator Skills for National Association of Secondary School Principals **

The National Association of Secondary School Principals has identified a series of skills necessary for successful school leaders. As part of our NELA coursework, we assessed ourselves on these skills in October 2010 and again in April 2012 and identified our “skill quotients” in each skill dimension. A “skill quotient” of one is low or never, and five is high or almost always. The table below reflects my self assessment at the beginning and end of my NELA tenure.



Through my coursework and internship, I have continued to grow in my skill areas. I show significant growth in Educational Leadership, and I feel the continued growth is due to a combination of classes, books read, and developing personally.

**Myers-Briggs Self-Assessment**
**NELA fellows took a modified and abridged version of the Myers-Briggs test during a Distinguished Leadership in Practice training. “Myers-Briggs” is a way of understanding people and has been found useful in increasing the effectiveness of education programs, team building and leadership.**

**Below are my results of the self assessment:**

The results show that I am a sociable person, who likes to meet other people. I am always searching out the feelings and thoughts of others. I am very flexible, but I dislike deadlines; however, when I need to get something done I will get it done without a problem. I like trying to find harmony; however, I will protect the truth and live by high expectations and high ethnical morals. I function using common sense, and seek solutions to solve problems. I feel that this test helps prove the fact that I believe in having a positive school culture in order to have a successful school.
