Goal 9: The graduate of the educational administration program will be a reflective professional who will display commitment to growth as a professional.

Type in the Artifact Name here: Professional Growth Memberships

Membership in organizations contributes to the overall professional growth of any administrator.  Professional memberships in organizations such as the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) are directly related to and support the jobs that administrators perform.  Monthly publications and daily e-mails keep administrators aware of the latest issues in education that contribute to professional development.  There are also leadership conferences and opportunities for growth that will help admiinistrators more effective in their work and abilities. 

In addition, my involvement in the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi has contributed a great deal to my support of educational excellence.  Phi Kappa Phi also provides scholarships and educational opportunity for many students who are members and support of these organizations is crucial for professionals in the field of education.  As administrators, we strive for academic excellence in our schools and in addition we should support organizations with the same philosophy. 

Both of these experiences are reflected in this paper and how they  have benefited me in my professional growth as an educator and future administrator.
