Blog 8.1 Strategic Competencies at Work Hi Seabreeze! I agree with what you write about action planning. It is an extremely effective tool in management. There are two things that I find difficult with action planning. In my school, we are required to do action plans, however once they are submitted, they don’t get looked […]
Through the journey of this course, I have gained many valuable tools that I can implement and utilize in my organization. The competencies that have been the most impactful in my learning have come from (Lepsinger, 2010). In reading this text, I found there were many times in which I felt that Lepsinger had perfectly […]

Team Extraordinary Educators Final Rebuttal There is no intent in trying to simplify the change process. Change is difficult in any shape or form. We believe God intended human being for constant change because that means trusting His providence more than what we know or what we have done in the past. Our fallen […]
