Budgeting for Student AchievementStrategies for Successful Deployment Team 8 Berkeley HAAS School Education Leadership Case Competition
Agenda 1 2 3 4 5
Issues at Hand “What’s different this time?” “Principals want flexibility and autonomy, but they don’t want the extra work” “The longer the parents’ experience with LAUSD, the less they trust us” “When we first started, we usually had at least 5 principals call in, and now we usually have 3 (of 70)” Lack of a clear message, trust and engagement must be addressed
When Trust is Lost … “[Everyone is] just trying to stay above water. It’s my 31st year in the district and I’ve never seen it so bad.” “What’s different this time, and why should we have confidence that it will work?”
To Win Trust, Focus on ENGAGEMENT “Those that plan the battle rarely battle the plan”
