Initial screening questions

As I mentioned last week, I am entering my name into the hat of applicants for a single administrative opening in my school district.  Before I can even hope to make it to the interview stage (a "long shot," so said my district-level supervisor) I have to get through the initial screening questions on the application.  So here they are, the true-to-life questions that are the basis of weeding out the wheat from the chaff:
  1. How do you define excellent leadership? What strengths do you have that contribute to your effectiveness as an educational leader?
  2. Describe your key values. How do you model these values as an administrator? How do they influence your decisions and your communication style?
  3. What have you done in the past three years to develop yourself personally and professionally? 
I think I have strong answers for each of these.  I won't include my responses here because that would just be obnoxious.  I'll submit my application this weekend.
