Values
Values underpin a leader’s platform and therefore their Personal Leadership
Charter.
While everyone has personal life values what we’re talking about here are beliefs
about education and leadership. see the following examples.
A Sample of a Personal Statement of Values of a Lead Teacher in an IBO school
“i am foremost an educator and my purpose is to contribute to the learning
of others and in the process to grow myself. i conduct my working life
from the following fundamental values that are at the heart of who i am.”:
Authenticity: Regardless of what i am required to teach or the context
in which i am leading others, i will be true to myself. i will only deliver
learning, or lead, in ways that are congruent with my beliefs about what is
right and that are within my capabilities.
Responsibility: i am responsible for what i say, for listening, for the
actions i take and the realities created for others in my school.
Relevance: i need to stay relevant. This means accessing and discerning
real life connections between intellectual experience and the changing
world, and continuing my own educational journey.
Creativity: i will respond creatively to situations and with a willingness
to generate possibilities free from the constraints of past practices and
traditions.
