Reflection from video interview with school principal

I had the opportunity to watch some short videos with some school leaders.  The first interview was very interesting to me and included Dr. Johnny Briseno, Principal at Rancho Isabella Elementary in Angleton ISD.  Dr.Briseno stated that they don’t make any decisions without looking first at the data and the main source from which this problem is created.  They look at the list of students that failed and analyze each one of them to see what could have caused for the student to fail, including issues at home, school, or others.  The same teachers identify the students and get data from system to fully understand the problem and share with other future grades teachers so that they are aware of individual situations.  The teachers also inform other future teachers about these students on how they are and what teaching methods work for the group and individually.  At the end, Mr. Briseno suggested to search on the internet for related issues to find possible solutions to the problem that is front of you.

After watching Mr. Briseno’s video, I mainly take and grasp that at any problem presented to do the following steps:
 
1.  Don’t jump into decision makings right away.
2.  Look at the data first and find out the root to the problem.
3.  Find solutions to the causes of the problem.
4.  Teachers inform other future teachers to simplify the students learning process and understand the students, too.
5.  Use internet as a guide for any problem or situation presented and search for possible positive implementations to solve the problem.
