Expectations of EDL 500

As a new student at the University of Phoenix, I am excited about the challenges and learning experiences ahead of me.  More specifically, I am excited about developing the skills necessary to become a better leader.  I love being a teacher, and I want to learn new ways to positively impact both my students and my co-workers.

I expect that this class, Personal Leadership, will help me develop confidence as a leader.  I believe that I possess these qualities, but I hope that this class will help me develop them further.  Additionally, I hope that this class teaches me ways to lead others in a positive way.  As a future teacher-leader, I want to work with other teachers, not against them.  I am hoping this class teaches me how to be the type of leader others respect and admire.

I strongly believe that this course will help me become not only a better leader of others, but of myself as well.  In order to successfully lead a group, I must know how to successfully lead myself.  I am excited about the growth I will experience throughout the duration of this class and my selected program at University of Phoenix.
