  1. Workshop One Overview of Organization and Administration, Leadership and Management, Organizational Values

  2. Changes in School Leadership

  3. Historical Factors • Poorer school population • Primary language is other than English • Nontraditional families (Razik & Swanson, 2010 p. 29)

  4. No Child Left Behind • This act is probably one of the most significant movements in education. • Why do you think this is so?

  5. What other historical factors have affected education in the CNMI?

  6. How have these changes affected the CNMI Public School System (PSS)? • Who can teach • What to teach • Assessment Measures • Accountability • Funding Sources

  7. Pertinent Points • School leadership has greatly evolved over the years and will continue to evolve. • Educational leaders must be able and willing to adapt to these changes.

  8. Something to Consider “Our educational systems were designed for another era and need to be reconstituted to meet the needs of a new era.” (Razik & Swanson, 2010, p. 29)

  9. As you watch the following video, ask yourself this question: How is the CNMI PSS preparing students for the 21st century?

  11. Leadership Styles Task Oriented Relationship Oriented Directive Supportive Participative Achievement Autocratic consultative Group (Razik & Swanson, 2010, p. 87)

  12. What kind of leadership style do you exhibit?

  13. CNMI PSS’ Values Values are communicated and applied to the our organizational culture in a variety of ways.

  14. CNMI PSS Commissioner of Education’s mantra: Students First • The initiatives and strategic priorities and goals revolve around this theme. • Principals embrace the concept of Students First which then trickles down to the teachers, students, and parents. • Monthly newsletters are one form of communication to showcase what schools are doing to impact students.

  15. What shapes your values? Rokeach (1973) maintains: “[A]ll people possess the same values to different degrees; values are organized into value systems; the antecedents of human values can be traced to culture, society and its institutions, and personality.” (quoted in Razik & Swanson, 2010, p. 165)

  16. 1st Recommended Policy Highly Qualified Personnel • One of the CNMI PSS' Strategic Priorities is hiring and retaining Highly Qualified Personnel. • In order to be deemed Highly Qualified a teacher must have a bachelor’s degree or higher, state certification, and pass two rigorous tests (Praxis I & II).

  17. The deadline for all administrators, teachers, and counselors to meet these requirements is July 2011. • The premise is that Highly Qualified Personnel will be knowledgeable and able to deliver excellent lessons/services to the students.

  18. One policy to help retain personnel is that novice teachers within the school system (0 to 3 years of experience) be assigned mentor teachers. These mentor teachers offer extra support to the new teacher and serve as a liaison between the administration and classroom teachers. • This Strategic Priority is being recommended to further include being of not only being highly qualified but also highly effective as well.

  19. 2nd Recommended Policy High Student Performance • The policy has been implemented that no teachers are to be pulled out of the classroom during instructional time to attend meetings or workshops. • Research says that the teacher is the biggest factor in students’ academic achievement; therefore, the more the teacher is with the students the greater the chances students have to become proficient in the concepts/skills taught.
