Significant Leadership Experience

A student had a seizure today. I ran upstairs and saw the student—still sitting on her stool

—curled over the desk seizing. Along with my principal and security, I checked and monitored

her for to ensure her safety. We were all eventually able to pick her up and lie her on the ground,

on her side, for safety. I made contact with our district nurse to get next steps. I called her family

immediately after to notify the situation. During this time, an ambulance had already been called.

The seizure lasted nine minutes, but with EMT check and conversation with family lasted 30

minutes more.

Connection to ELCC Standards

This event relates to ELCC 3.3 and 4.3 through my immediate action in the incident,

while also communicating with family. I was able to show ability in “protect[ing] the welfare

and safety of students” and keeping positive relationships with families (National Policy Board

for Educational Administration [NPBEA], ELCC 3.3 & 4.3 2011).

Focus and Application

Continuing forward, my goal is to get exposure in ELCC 3 as I intend to work with our

video production teacher to help students create and coordinate a short feature film, which is

intended to be presented by the end of the year. This will benefit me in the future as it is an

opportunity to show my interest in the students’ learning progress and their final product, while

being able to take the feedback into future opportunities for myself and staff.
