If you aspire to be the leader a school deserves, it is paramount that you develop and fine tune the skills during your internship experience. As an aspiring leader, you will need clearly identified goals, a cohesive network of peers, communication, and identified mentors. These are things that will be discussed in Aspiring to Leadership. This book will require that you are a reflective practitioner, supportive, team-oriented, and culturally responsive to the constituents in your school.

This book is designed to support “Teacher Leaders” as they prepare to become school-based, district-based, and/or state leaders in education. The book aligns with the National Educational Leadership Preparation Standards as well as the North Carolina Executive Leadership Standards. This book is designed to support you in precise communication, tools for reflection, and work–life balance to achieve your goal of becoming an educational leader.

Many aspire to become principals; however, not everyone’s path to leadership is becoming a principal. However, many of the characteristics that are required of the principalship are needed to be effective educational leaders. In this book, you will have the opportunity to experience these skill sets through your current lens and begin to examine them through the lens of a principal to support you in becoming an educational leader.

Portia Gibbs-Roseboro

Dr. Portia Gibbs-Roseboro, Assistant Professor, has served as a passionate educator and lover of the education profession for more than 26 years. During this time, she has had the privilege of teaching mathematics at both middle- and high-school levels, served as school-based administrator, state-wide instructional coach for secondary mathematics teachers, and district level support. Dr Gibbs-Roseboro’s secondary teaching experience has allowed her to serve as mentor, department chairperson, and grade level lead. In her coaching experience, she has supported teachers, instructional coaches, school administrators, and district personnel throughout the state of North Carolina. Each of these experiences has helped shape her advocacy for serving ALL, especially those in impoverished communities, to develop a love of learning. Dr Gibbs-Roseboro does this work because she believes in servant leadership, which focuses primarily on the growth and well-being of people and the communities in which they belong, resulting in her impacting teachers’ lives and the entire school community. This is what guides her research interest and goals to cultivate strong effective leadership within school districts that will create sustainable change for the most “at-risk” populations
