Internship Plan

Internship Plan
Dr. Arterbury


With this plan I hope to address all of the SBEC competencies with a focus on the areas in which I feel I need the most work. My site supervisor(s) have come up with several ways in which these competencies can be addressed. Below is a list of the criteria, and in some cases whole competencies, in which activities will be focused. I am also completing activities that address other areas.


Use effective consensus-building and conflict-management skills.

The superintendent knows how to respond to and influence the larger political, social, economic, legal, and cultural context, including working with the board of trustees, to achieve the district's educational vision.

Develop and implement collaborative processes for systematically assessing and renewing the curriculum to meet the needs of all students and ensure appropriate scope, sequence, content, and alignment.

Apply knowledge of motivational theories to create conditions that encourage staff, students, families/caregivers, and the community to strive to achieve the district's vision.

Analyze the implications of various organizational factors (e.g., staffing patterns, class scheduling formats, school organizational structures, student discipline practices) for teaching and learning.

Develop, implement, and evaluate change processes to improve student and adult learning and the climate for learning.

Implement effective strategies for the recruitment, selection, induction, development, evaluation, and promotion of staff.

The superintendent knows how to apply principles of effective leadership and management in relation to district budgeting, personnel, resource utilization, financial management, and technology use.

To address these issues I will be working on ways to set up grants and use those monies to comply with preset criteria. I will also be working with district teams in deciding on ways to improve school functions as related to staff training, curriculum, and school culture.
