During my second year of teaching, our school piloted the Blackboard(R) System for the school district. I quickly became a leader and "go to" person once my IT learned that I had experience with this system. I enjoyed this immensely as I love to share knowledge and help people.
During my 4th year of teaching, my principal chose me to co-lead a Tactic team to help implement our updated mission statement and vision. We lead our section of teachers in discussion of the statement and brainstormed on how to implement this vision in a palpable manner.
For the past 2-3 years, I have volunteered to participate on the textbook adoption and curriculum development committees for my district. I chose to partake in this leadership role because I wanted some say in the future of my discipline. If someone was going to tell me what to teach, then I wanted to be a "someone".
Most of these leadership roles that I have held in tenure as a teacher seem to demonstrate and support the Leadership Qualities Questionnaire Summary that identified me as a Dynamic Supportive type of leader.

I'm curious how the Tactic team did. Were your recommendations for completing the implementation followed and how well is the msission going?
Nearly all of our recommendations where approved and since then, we have devised plans to implement all of them. Two of our 8 approved recommendation were completed before the end of last school year, with a third to be implemented at the start of this school year. The other 5 are a bit more difficult in that they require the assistance of most of the staff. That means we have some communication to implement and continue with.
