  2. What is a Leadership Team? • Cross Section of Staff • Differing Ideas in the Room • Common Norms and Procedures • Common Focus – Student Learning

  3. Why a Leadership Team? • Sustained Action – Efforts and Initiatives outlast one person • Staff Enthusiasm – Ideas from within have greater opportunity for success • Staff Expertise – Use of internal expertise

  4. Needed Resources & Training • “Adaptive Schools” training for staff and administrators involved www.adaptiveschools.com • TIME – Commitment to time beyond the school day for collaborative meetings • FINANCES – Commitment to funds for training and follow up coaching

  5. Steps for Implementation • 1. Train the Trainers – Select initial team for Adaptive Schools training • 2. Establish the Leadership Team – including, but not limited to, the trained staff members • 3. Carry out Adaptive Schools training • 4. Establish norms and procedures for conducting meetings – allow for rotation of roles (facilitator, recorder, etc.)

  6. Steps for Implementation • 5. Insure transparency with all meetings and communications • Publish minutes to all staff members immediately after each meeting • Insure all meetings are open – anyone may attend, so long as they are work within set group guidelines • Announce dates and times well in advance

  7. Steps for Implementation • 6. Tackle the “Tough Issues” • Establish goals (short and long term) for the building in addition to reviewing any existing goals already in place (NCA, Title I, etc.) • Track progress using real and meaningful data gathered at the school level and beyond • Consistently re-iterate the need for a clear focus on student achievement

  8. Role of the Principal • Establish sphere of influence of the team • Support – Do NOT dominate • Share control of the team – become part of the rotation of roles • Allow ideas to grow – avoid “shooting holes” early in the process • Focus on how and why ideas may work as opposed to why they may not

  9. Does this PD measure up??? • Sustained YES • Job-Embedded YES • Collegial YES • Interactive YES • Integrative YES • Practical / Useful YES • Measurable / Data Driven YES
