Mork, taking the time to share his insights into the administration's leadership styles and strategies, has allowed me to gain insights into why certain decisions were made at Crescent School and why the information was presented the way it was. This discussion also helped me develop some of my thoughts on how I would like things to work when I am an administrator. Dr. Mork has served as an administrator at Crescent School for the past four years. During that time there were many instances where I wondered why things happened the way they did. For example, when Dr. Mork shared the requirements of Washington State's Teacher and Principal Evaluation Program (TPEP), a new evaluation program for teachers and principals, Dr. Mork presented general information about the program to the teaching staff. I was able to question his decision to present the information in this way. I learned that Dr. Mork wanted to allow teachers to have some freedom to complete the TPEP as they wanted. The program was a new structure and was open-ended. Dr. Mork said he doesn't want to stress his staff by setting rigid parameters on TPEP completion. To help teachers feel comfortable with the program, Dr. Mork allowed teachers to learn the program at their own pace and gently guided them to the finish line
