  5. Creating Teams, Not Groups Collective responsibility Common goals Shared vision

  6. Teams Teams "A group of people working interdependently to accomplish a common goal for which all members are held mutually accountable." -DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, & Many (2006)

  7. An Analogy

  8. Framework for Success

  9. Why a Leadership Team? Rationale Effective leadership is essential to the development and continuing improvement of any organization. ("Characteristics of Successful Schools") Leadership should not reside with one individual; a team approach to planning and decision making allows for distributive leadership. (Marzano, 2003)

  10. Key Ideas Leadership roles are assumed by a variety of persons Leaders demonstrate knowledge, respect, and responsiveness School leaders expect-and hold staff accountable for-challenging all students with a rigorous, culturally relevant curriculum and for demonstrating high expectations for each student School leaders ensure that each school has financial, material, and programmatic resources ("Characteristics of Successful Schools")

  11. The Essential Supports for School Improvement ; Consortium on Chicago School Research, 2006: http://ccsr.uchicago.edu

  12. The Work of a Leadership Team: A Process Laba, 2011

  13. The Process in Reality

  14. High Quality Teaming Regular and well-attended team meetings Focused and difficult discussions Culture of Candor - honest and reflective self-examination Openness for and commitment to creativity Sincere and collaborative effort Use of protocols and consistent documentation

  15. Teams: Culture of Candor

  16. School Leadership Team Processes Lead and support the implementation of instructional improvement efforts with a leadership team. Use a meaningful process to develop plans and give feedback to staff. Revise the plan and implementation efforts based on district goals, review and feedback.

  17. School improvement is complicated…

  18. Indistar Supports Teams • Utilize the Wise Ways research • Engage in a culture of candor • Acquire a deep understanding of the practice

  19. Tools to Assist the Teaming Process Worksheets & Agendas Wise Ways® Indicators Now! Indicators in Action Assessing Indicators of Effective Practice

  20. Where can we plan a meeting? • Choose ‘Plan Your Meeting’ from the main menu screen • Click on Meeting Agenda Setup • Indistar

  21. Worksheets... Blank worksheets for each indicator may be printed to use for note-taking, as the team discusses and decides on implementation and/or creates a plan and tasks

  22. Reflect 1. What is the straight-forward, literal meaning and intent of the indicator? 2. How would we know the extent to which the indicator is implemented? 3. What data must be analyzed to determine the level of implementation? 4. What does it look like now?

  23. Wise Ways®The process manager should print or export and email a copy of each Wise Ways® to the team members a few days prior to the meeting, so they have time to evaluate exactly what the research says.

  24. Indicators Now! • Video series for each indicator • Review of best practices • Build context

  25. Indicators in Action • Explanation of indicators • Courses • Examples of best practices • Tools & Templates

  26. Lots of Reports!

  27. Some helpful reports… • Comprehensive Plan Report: • Detailed activity of the school team’s work on the improvement plan including assessments, plans, tasks, monitoring • Tasks Report: • Gives detailed information for all tasks including the assigned team member and target date for completion. • Accomplishments Report: • Shows indicators that were assessed as fully implemented or the objective has been met within the last year, the last two years, or the last three years. This report allows a school or district to show their achievements within those time periods.
