Deliver Results
In my previous role as a Pre School teacher I was in charge of not only teaching the children but also making sure of their safety. I was in charge of creating a weekly curriculum with 3 different activities of different subjects. I constantly had to deliver that quality of work to not only the children but to the school director in a weekly newsletter.
Earn Trust
Before my Pre School teacher role I had a peculiar position at a nanny agency. I was an “on-call nanny” I would take last minute shifts if any of the regular nannies were unable to make their shift. That meant I would care after children whom I had never met. The trust building aspect was crucial for this role. I learned how to approach families in a way that let them know that their children would be safe under my professional care. It was difficult but I did it!
Frugality
During my time as a teacher, I had a yearly budget for my classroom. I had to make sure that amount lasted through the year. Frugality was the only way to make that amount last. I had to order only necessary items for the activities. And also leave some amount saved in case of an emergency. I had to get creative with the basic materials we had. And that also meant sacrificing some potentially fun activities for the children. Overall it ended up being okay.
The one difficult leadership principal I chose is Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit. I am learning how to take constructive criticism without overthinking about my skills as much. This program is helping me learn about the importance of agreeing to disagree.
