In week four, I worked on designing assessment tools and teaching materials that could be used with hearing-impaired learners. My goal was to make them not only educationally sound but also engaging and culturally relevant. I collaborated with academics and specialists to ensure that the content aligned with best practices in language development and inclusive education.
This phase reminded me that leadership is often about knowing when to seek guidance. I brought my ideas to the table, but I also listened carefully to the experts, recognising that my role was to facilitate the creation of something that would truly serve the learners. Integrity here meant resisting the urge to take shortcuts for the sake of convenience, and instead being willing to refine, test, and improve the materials. It also reinforced my belief that collaboration is a cornerstone of ethical leadership—great outcomes rarely happen in isolation.
