I have gained a great deal of knowledge in this course. We have to set the standards and be the example. I honestly belive that true leadership should have Integrity, trust, Morals, and ethics characteristics. We are the professionals and students are watching our actions and take to heart the example we show. Its like our parents use to say, when you are in public, understand that you represent more than ourself. These students are our customers and our goal is to ensure excellent customer service.
We must act with empathy, timeliness and consistency with our students in order to achieve a compliance culture.
We must be a guiding light for our students. If we tell them we are going to help them, then we need to follow through. If we can't help them, then it is our responsibility to find someone who will. Follow up with the student to make sure he/she was helped.
I have learned a great deal regarding disability and the academic accomadations required of them. The materials presented in these modules are useful and appropriate to facilitate learning in the class. I have had the priviledge of educating students who have been medically diagnosed with some form of temporary or permanent disability. Now I have an added resource to further assist my students.
