The experience I gained through my studies
at AIU enabled me to attain a comprehensive understanding about the various
issues prevalent in the current educational system and improve my personal
skills as a teacher/administrator. My research advanced my knowledge about the
prominence of technology in education and allowed me to clearly comprehend the
multiple government regulations that govern educational institutions. I hope to
utilize these attained skills and knowledge to bring about positive social and
academic changes within my educational setting.

My academic endeavors at AIU revealed the
significance of prevalent issues like bullying, dropouts, improper funding and
lack of efficient teacher-student interactions that adversely affect the
quality of our current educational system. Although the aforementioned issues
cannot be fixed overnight, my research enabled me to adjust my personal and
professional behavior and attitude to cope with these issues. The rising prominence of technology in
education all over the world and its impact on student achievement and teaching
methodologies have altered the entire academic environment and will continue to
provide pros and cons for the future generation of students, teachers and
parents. It is vital as an administrator to maximize the benefits of technology
and manage its weaknesses to ensure that the education industry keeps up with
the pace of change in technology. Finally, a thorough analysis of departmental
laws and regulations governing my school district taught me about the various
opportunities and limitations in my area.

Sincerely,
