  1. Professional and Ethical Leadership Class Dr. Timothy Mitchell Rapid City Area Schools 9/26/13

  2. Systems That Learn “Leadership is about going somewhere. If you and your people don’t know where you are going, your leadership doesn’t matter.” Ken Blanchard

  3. The Three C’s of Community Building Confront the Brutal Facts Communication (Effective) Collaboration

  4. RCAS Mission Building a community of life long learners, one student at a time.

  5. RCAS Vision All Rapid City Area School students will achieve to their full potential.

  6. My Personal Vision To embrace learning rather than teaching as a school’s mission, to work collaboratively to help all students learn, to focus on results to foster continuous improvement and to assume individual responsibility to take steps to create such a school.

  7. My Sentence I provide the leadership to create a purposeful learning community that creates high quality learning experiences for all community members.

  8. What is essential!! • Community Support • Community Involvement • Community Trust

  9. Systems That Learn Overarching Theory When a school systems learns, continuous improvement enables educators to close achievement gaps and ensures that all students grow and develop as learners.

  10. Systems That Learn In order to disagree, learn from mistakes, successfully manage conflict, and continually learn, the systems needs sufficient: Trust Capacity Building for ALL educators Collaboration in All directions Leadership at all levels

  11. Trust *Provide a safety net for taking risks *It is necessary for the system to achieve beyond capacity *Need to pay attention to the needs of all the stakeholders

  12. Developing Trust • Function of two things: • Integrity • Competence

  13. Developing Trust • Integrity • Honesty-telling the truth & leaving the right impression • Congruence-no gaps between intent and behavior “walk your talk” • Humility-recognize principles before yourself • Courage-do the right thing-even when hard

  14. Developing Trust • Competence • Your capabilities • Your skills • Your results • Your track record • They are both vital-one without the other will not work

  15. Speed of Trust-Behavior #9 Clarify Expectations-to create shared vision and agreement about what is to be done up front

  16. Speed of Trust-Behavior #10 Practice Accountability-Hold yourself accountable. Hold others accountable. Take responsibility for results. Be clear on how you’ll communicate how you’re doing and how others are doing. Don’t avoid or shirk responsibility. Don’t blame others or point fingers when things go wrong.

  17. Capacity Building *Quality teaching has a positive impact on student learning *Teaching competencies can be taught *Professional learning can increase teacher competencies in ways that will result in increased student learning

  18. Collaboration The knowledge about effective practice becomes more widely available and accessible on a daily basis Working together generates commitment

  19. Leaders at ALL Levels “It is no longer sufficient to have one person learning for the organization. It’s just not possible any longer to figure it out from the top. The organizations that will truly excel in the future will be the organizations that discover how to tap people’s commitment and capacity to learn at all levels of the organization” Peter Senge

  20. Leaders at ALL Levels *Good ideas can come from anywhere *Include as many people as they can in key decisions

  21. What Do I Want You to Feel? • Autonomy-the desire to direct your own life • This does not mean condoning and allowing people to do “whatever they want” • The “How” of the things we do-Supportive Limits • Mastery-the urge to get better and better at something that matters • Your ability is not finite • Purpose-the yearning to do what we do as a service of something larger than ourselves

  22. Control the Conversation What must we have to provide a high quality education for all students of the RCAS?

  23. Developing Trust “A man who doesn’t trust himself can never truly trust anyone else.” -Cardinal de Retz
