Post a reaction to the 8 short videos of superintendents discussing their work with principals
One of the most important roles of a superintendent is the support and development of leadership in the district. This can be seen in a variety of ways. Just like the purpose of our degree and certifications, the development support and nurture of outstanding leaders is one of the most important roles. In 2011 Wallace Foundation had an interesting study in order to present best practices for all districts to use as a guide.
Below you will find 8 short videos of superintendents discussing their work with principals. Review all 8, then choose one that you think would work and one that absolutely would not work in your district. Post the reasons why or why not from your notes delineating supporting evidence for each one you have selected.

“Exploring the Role of Self-Perception and Community Engagement in Promoting Health Behavior Change”
In our Week 5 lecture, we delved into various individual-level theories that underscore the importance of self-perceptions and self-efficacy in influencing health behavior changes. A central takeaway from our discussion is the pivotal role our sense of self plays in navigating and effectuating health-related behaviors. This assignment aims to explore this further by inviting you to analyze and discuss the following questions critically:
Self vs. External Control: Reflect on the distinction between being controlled by external factors versus self-control. What makes these two forms of control different, and why is this distinction important for health behavior? (2 points)
Development of Self-Control: Consider how self-control evolves from childhood into adulthood. What are the key stages or factors that contribute to the development of self-control in individuals? (2 points)
Underuse of Self-Control Techniques: Despite the known benefits of self-control techniques, they are not universally applied. Explore potential reasons why people might not utilize these techniques in managing their health behaviors. (2 points)
Perceived Unchangeability: Reflect on the concept of changeability within oneself. Are there aspects of your self or personality that you believe are immutable? Discuss why you hold these beliefs and how they might affect your health behaviors.
This week, we delve into the crucial topic of Improving Health Through Community Engagement. As I crafted this week’s lecture, I recalled a valuable resource from my own experience: a monthly training webinar I attended last year hosted by the Health Equity Action Network. This webinar provided comprehensive insights into effective approaches to community engagement and research, which I believe will greatly benefit our understanding of this topic.
Hence, I’ve decided to assign this training webinar for you to listen to. After completing the webinar, you’ll be tasked with completing the following in-class activity.
This week’s in-class task objective: This assignment’s objective is to encourage you to apply concepts of community engagement and the ecological model to your surroundings. By evaluating your community and identifying opportunities for improvement, you will develop a deeper understanding of the role you can play in promoting community well-being.
Instructions:
Community Evaluation: First, spend some time exploring and evaluating your community, focusing on aspects such as fitness facilities, public parks, healthy restaurants, fast-food stores, recreation centers, and other relevant amenities. Consider factors such as accessibility, quantity, quality, and the overall impact on community health and well-being.
Report on Community Assessment: Second, write a brief report summarizing your findings from the community evaluation. Include observations, strengths, weaknesses, and any areas where improvements could be made. Use the ecological model as a framework to analyze how various elements of the environment contribute to individual and community health.
Reflection on Personal Contributions: Third, reflect on three little contributions you can make to enhance your community’s overall well-being. These contributions can be small-scale initiatives or actions that align with your interests, skills, and resources. Consider how your contributions can address identified needs or improve existing community resources.
