1EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP
I believe the role of an educational leader in a child’s life is extremely influential since
they inspire, motivate they children in their education. An educational leader also challenges as
well as extends the practice and pedagogy of other educators for better educational experience
(Robertson, 2016). As an educational leader this has been my role and my life’s purpose to
influence the imparting of education by challenging, motivating, inspiring as deemed appropriate
in accordance with circumstances. Being for 10 years in this field, I have had my share of
experiences that has made me into a better leader today and shaped my ambition to work better
in the future for the benefit of the children and their education.
I have been a teacher for the past 10 years in a school and I know that an effective
leadership is the most important factor that will help me making a difference in my line of
occupation. The future of the learners in my school depends on my leadership traits and my
experiences in this past decade have taught me that in order to be an ideal teacher, you should be
self aware through a solid understanding of one’s own self. I should have confidence in the
decisions I make or else I would not be able to impose my decisions with confidence in front of
the students. I am also aware of my communication skills and its importance in my field of work
and I believe that the kind of an educational leader that I aspire to be needs to have some strong
set of communication skills and be open to new ideas, changing with the same pace as the world
so that I can utilize my skills to the best of my abilities. I have an image of an ideal leader in my
mind who would lead by example and not just by their communicational skills. An educator has
a huge influence on the students and so I want to be such an educational leader who will be kind
when kindness is required but when I feel like having my students to respect me, I will show
them how and why it must be done (Bush, Bell & Middlewood, 2019). I am very inspired by Sir
Kenneth Robinson by the way he impacted the educational system of America. I am influenced
