Response to Discussions Response to Macy Macy is absolutely right that lack of professional development and sufficient on-site educational opportunities for nurses is an issue to be considered by various stakeholders. The topic should be addressed because technological innovations resonating around the clock of the medical field are on a constant change towards the deliverance of better services. This means that nursing staff also require continuous training at all levels to keep pace with those changes in order to qualify them to work with those technological improvements (Ricketts & Fraher, 2013). Failure to offer such training makes the nurses feel outdated and of less importance to their duties, leading to nursing burnout, and some eventually exit from the field completely just as Macy discussed.

To Improve Teacher Performance through Professional Development and Teacher Self-Reflection Using Video Recording CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Introduction The use of video recordings for professional development and self-reflection has formed a foundation for professional training and evaluation in the teaching field. For instance, video teaching supervisors in universities use video recordings to access classroom performance of training teachers without the need for them to be present in the classrooms. The application of video recording for professional development and self-reflection in the teaching field is essential. According to Hamel et al. (2019), the use of video recordings has enabled the teachers, especially those in training, to focus more on the students and their learning as well as allowed the teachers to analyze the situation from different angles (Hamel et al., 2019).

reflection of where I’m correct on my leadership capabilities and the vision I have for the next five years As Theodore Hesburgh (President of the University of Notre Dame) said, “the very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. It’s got to be a vision you articulate clearly and forceful”. This paper is a reflection of where I’m correct on my leadership capabilities and the vision I have for the next five years. It also includes the plan, goals, and the time frame I have in attaining my professional objectives. I agree with jack welch that a leader is the one who seeks to grow others so that they can become better in their lives. The leader I want to be in five years to come is that leader who will always seek to see his colleague raise into great heights in whatever they do. The success of my leadership will be measured by the success I have helped others to make in their lives. For the success of a true leader is not measured in…
