As an educator it is important to acquire knowledge in the field of technology. With knowledge you can gain skill to prefect students learning. Education means more than acquiring knowledge. It empowers people to develop personally and become politically active. Education empowers, and education promotes greater participation in students as well as teachers. According Picciano (2008) in Chapter 4 he states that this concept that knowledge is power should not be reviewed negatively. Because of public control and the number of constituents, schools generally require their administrative leaders to have expert or information power.

However I am a family oriented person who teaches my family the things they need to function on a daily base.  My family has learned over the years how to collaborate and work together as a team. Teaching them allows me to concentrate on being effective leader and sharpen my skills in the teaching process. Most of my family members know the value of obtaining knowledge and how it can lead to success in life. Education is very important to both your personal and professional life, in a number of significant ways!

With an education I have learned to growth in knowledge and success. My vision is to become effective teacher in the future as I continue to grow in Knowledge. According to Hall (2011) theory is a key responsibility of any leader is the development and management of an organization’s or team’s vision. The presence of a powerful vision is what allows an organization to reach its goals. Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
