Key Area 4

Leadership and Organizational Change

In the realm of athletics, athletes are constantly dealing with the 'adversity' that comes their way such as losing seasons and injuries. They also have to transition between different sport seasons, different team members and different coaches. How these athletes deal with these adversities and transitions will affect the outcome of their season. This key area has taught me the importance of 'adversity' as we dealing with changes in our organization. The more knowledge my co-workers acquire in understanding the stages of transition, the more capable they will be in handling adversity when it comes their way. This key area has also helped me realize the necessity of organizations forming communities of practice to enhance the collaboration between co-workers. In completing this TET Program I feel as though I have advanced myself as a "co-captain" in leading my colleagues through the organizational changes that are necessary to begin implementing technology in their classroom.

"Education comes from living life,
following passions, accessing information,
observing, reflecting and being inspired
by wise and courageous elders in the community."
