TASK 9

This week we have had  to explore the different types of leaderships that we can find in the schools. Each group of our class chose a one and represent it in the class. The star this week had to personalize a candidate to the direction of the centre and create a campaign.

Of the seven different groups that there are in the classroom, only two groups chose a different style from the participative.
And now, we have classified the groups with the type of leader that they chose:

• Spacers: Transformational
• Architeachers: Participative
• Flower Power: Partcipative
• The Superstar Teachers:Participative
• Starfish: Transactional
• Fishers in the River: Participative
• Ladies&Gentleman: Partcipative

As we can see, all groups except "Spacers" and "Starfish" chose participative style. In this type of leadership the relationships within the school are very important ; in autoritarian, the most important thing is the authority, if someone does not do what the leader wants this person will be punished. In the transactional style, we can stand out rewards, if you give me, I give you, and benefits are really important; and in the transformational there is not anything that stands out, because this style is in constant change.

Here you can see the discourse that we created for ous star:

Good morning.

I am Ana, the candidate for been your Headmaster.

Have you ever felt that you are not valuated or your work do not receive the consideration that its deserve?

If you vote me, this will change and I am going to show you why. But, don’t worry, I will be brief.

All of us have dreamt with a school in which will reign the dignity, respect and participation of all members of it. For this reason, I introduce myself as a candidate to change the current management system, because everyone deserves to be heard and taken into account no matter where we are.

Usually, people have make us believe that having leaders who impose their workers, who have the power of taking all decisions and who do not worried even for their own team, is the right thing.

By contrast, I bring a change here, I bet on an education in which we all have voice, in which we are all participants in the decisions that are going to take place within the center.

I bet for creativity, for common effort to work for a good devélopment of our students.

If you vote me, I promise you that every effort will be valued, the talent will not be left behind, we want to embrace the capacities of each member of the community and that no one feels left behind, as Henry Ford said; “Coming together is beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success”

As you can see in this image, my objectives are clear. I want to create an environment in which all of us are treated with equality and dignity; where we work together, including me.For that reason I am concerned about the compromise of achieve this objective.

I promise that if I win these elections I will create a new educational center eliminating the traditional learning methods as well as one of the biggest enemy of children: the textbook, which makes them learn in a mechanical and boring way.

In order to achieve this objective, I propose making the child the protagonist of his/her own learning, experimenting, investigating and internalizing all the contents by project based learning. As Ignacio Estrada said “If a child can't learn the way we teach maybe we should teach the way they learn”.

I can also say that it will continue being a bilingual school, given the importance that talking more than one language has nowadays.

In addition, I purpose to set aside the system in which the unique interest of the leader are the objectives and the work that should be developed, worrying about the well-being of each and every member of this center, attending to the needs that are required in each moment. There will be replaced the fear and the terror that normally people had to the leader by the confidence and calm, creating a relationship of equal to equal between all.

On the other hand, punishments will not exist because of a wrong behavior, but the big contributions and successes will be rewarded. Therefore, the problems that could emerge  will be treated in a reasonable way, through the dialog and comprehension of the parts implied instead of what has been till now, where the leader was the only one that was taking part in the conflict and was solving it in the way that seemed to be the correct for him without taking into account nobody else.

To conclude, the access to a favorable education is in your hands and for this reason I want to be participant of it. I know that there are a lot of candidates and all of them are suitable for it, but I am convinced that I can offer you a new vision that can make you change the way of looking at education.

And remember, as Nelson Mandela said “ Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.

We have done a poster for the star with the phrase :

"The school that we wanted. It's the moment"!



Finally, we created our own pin:

ANALYST WEEK 10

Hello everybody! My name is Marta and this week I have to evaluate all the members of my group and the task in general, as I'm the analyst.

The task of this week was about the different types of leadership. Firstly, we had to learn this the teacher has facilitated us a document and then having this knowledge, then we have to elaborate a speech according to a leadership profile, with the aim of being elected  in the elections of a school, to be the headmaster.

If I have to choose the worse part of the activity, I would say it was the moment when we have to start to write the speech, because the begginings are always difficult. However once we had started to write it with clear ideas, the process was entertaining. Reggarding to the best part of the activity, for me it was imagining the ideal school where we want to impose our leadership, because I have always dreamt about that school.

The best moment of the week Was when we were doing the publicitary poster of Ana for the elections, we laugh a Lot. In contrast the worse moment of the week, was when we discuss about the leadership style that we will choose.

Definitely what  we have to improve for the next week is to be a more effective group, because we distract our attention easily. However we have to conserve the good atmosphere we have as a group. Also, this task has relation with our degree , because in a future we will identify these leaderships in the social context of a school.

I hope all of you like my reflection of this week!

Thanks for your attention!! 🌵

FACILITATOR WEEK 10

Hello everyone!! I am Victoria and this week I am the facilitator of my group 🙋

In the task of this week we had worked with the different types of leadership.
We had to imagine that we were candidates for the headmaster of the school and we had to prepare an electoral speech to try to convince the public. We prepared our speech and we exposed it during 10 minutes in front of the rest of our classmates.


On Monday, Linda exposed us the topic and gave us a document abou the types of leadership. In the afternoon we met to choose our type and to star thinking abour the speech and the things that we were oign to o for our campaign. Me, as facilitator, brought some sweet for my team in order to make easy our work.


On Tuesday we met again to follow with the speech and to finish the rest of the things and our star Ana tested what she was going to say the following day.

On the campaign day we, as weel as the rest of the groups, did a good job and it was very funny

That's all for this week. 
Thanks for reading.
See you next week!!!🙌

STAR WEEK 10

Hello everybody! I am Ana and this week I have been the star of my group.

We have celebrated the elections for the direction of a school and, as I have been the star, I have had to make a speech.

I was really frightened because I had to talk around 10 minutes and I thought that my nervous would damage my exposition. However, my teammates support me and they were a great hep. They write the discourse with me; and also they create all the publicity material for my campaign (posters, badges...).

We decided that it would be better if I would not read the speech, so I decided to memorize it. I must confess that I thought that it would be more complicated, but I was able to do it.

While I was memorizing it, I practised my performance with my colleagues. We decided to do a little scene for my entrance to the elections. Each member of the group had a role, Victoria and Andrea were my bodyguards; Emma was a fan; Sara was in charge of the music; and Marta and Clara distributed the publicity material. It was really positive for my presentation because I felt support; and also it made the speech funnier for my classmates.

Although I was really nervous, I think that I realised a good campaign as well as the other stars.

This is all for this week.

I hope you enjoy this post.

See you soon 😀🌵
