Amanda, Your principal having, " an open line of communication, flexible, encouraging, and supportive" certainly has the makings of having a great working relationship with them. I too have a principal that is very open, easy to communicate with, and encouraging. I can even go to her to sound off new ideas for instruction, ways to really engage certain students (perhaps the ones that may frequent her office) and she is always willing to share insight or pose some other considerations for me to ponder. This type of leadership is certainly very helpful in a job setting that has the makings to be overly stressful and difficult. It sounds like we are lucky gals to have such good leadership in our buildings. I enjoyed reading about the leadership style in your building.:) Danielle Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: Amanda Luttrell < amanda.luttrell at redstreaks.org > Date: 6/14/18 11:14 PM (GMT-05:00) To: ous-lp-rp13 at listserv.ohio.edu Subject: [Ous-lp-rp13] EDAD 6020 Answer to Question #2 My school most closely resembles the professional organizational structure. Although the professional structure is complex with many rules and procedures, the staff is able to have independence and hold some power. I feel that our principal views his staff as highly trained professionals who have autonomy and considerable power to keep the “machine structure” running. We are able to run our classroom the way we want in a professional manner. Our principal keeps an open line of communication, flexible, encouraging, and supportive. In addition, my school also resembles the Weberian bureaucracy structure. Everyone has a role and is expected to do what they are supposed to do in order for the organization to run smoothly and effectively. The organizational structure that my school least resemble is the chaotic structure and loosely coupled. Our district is usually consistent with their rules and regulations for the district as a whole in ensuring compliance, rather than having rules exist at one location and only inspect to ensure compliance at one of them. -- Amanda LuttrellZahn's Corner Middle SchoolSixth Grade Language Arts -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
