EDLD 5399: SISE Reflection

During my SISE exit interview, my superintendent reiterated some of the challenges superintendent’s face. What I found interesting was that I really understood where he was coming from this time, as opposed to our first interview.  During the first interview, it was a one-way activity…he talked, I took notes, and I worried about writing down all the details.  During this post interview, it was a two-way communication.  He talked about the challenges a superintendent faces, and I could actually engage in conversation with him about these challenges.  I have a better working knowledge of these challenges and could relate to either real-life events or internship activities during the course of this program that helped me better understand the challenges. It was at this point that I truly realized the growth I've experienced as a result of this superintendent's program!
