The concept of trying to identifying measures, the intention of seeking improvement through skillful implication,I trust will be of interest to many other organizations where ‘change’ is needed. A re - focus on teaching and learning, within the International Middle School (within the Middle Kingdom), through Pedagogic Leadership approaches. http://www.personaltrainercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/moom_balance01.jpg

  2. A re - focus on learning and teaching within Middle School, through Pedagogic Leadership approaches • Existing Situation (my insight):- School is in China and is a Total Authorized IB School i.e with PYP, MYP & Diploma. It’s been around 10+ years. • MYP programme, is often over-managed, some staff undervalued in terms of forfilling their potentials. • Classically daily routines have been order of the day with leaders over managing & staff feeling undervalued. Bennis & Nanus (1985) http://www.moneyandyoublog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/profiling-and-team-building-300x300.jpg

  3. Existing Situation: needs to be more effective In terms of mastering routines & efficiency no real issues , but in terms of effectiveness: some people having ‘timid incapacities’ Bennis & Nanus (1985) http://www.teambuildingsolutions.co.uk/img/teambuilding-solutions.gif

  4. Existing Situation: “iatrogenic” The example of the Doctor causing illness & side affects through inappropriate interventions, similarly I see some managers having been responsible for the cause as well as the cure of the problem. Bennis & Nanus (1985) http://sophrosyne.radical.r30.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Changing-Minds.jpg

Intellectual Stimulation • Leaders inspire a followers thinking & imagination • Four ‘I’ of TF (Avolio et al., Bass & Avolio,1994b) • A) Inspirational leadership:- arousal & heightening of • Motivation among followers. • B) Individualised Consideration:- Subsequent treatment of • Individuals according to their needs. • C) Intellectual Stimulation:- Leaders influence on followers • thinking & imagination. • D) Idealized Influence:- Identifying with leaders mission & • value. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-XRm_w33a71o/TYcicfB49lI/AAAAAAAADjg/lqOfzJOBOD0/s400/HumanismTP.001.jpg

  9. Idealised Influence • This culminates from the leaders mission & vision • Burns (1978 p.454) • Bass (1990a, p.22) http://blog.helpformylife.org/files/Soaring-bald-eagly-300x240.jpg

  10. ‘Vision orientated’ • Leaders viewed themselves as leaders not managers i.e. concerned themselves with organizing the basic purpose & general direction • Bennis & Nanus (1985 ) http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/000/160/148/95649528.jpg.21906_display_image.jpg?1266532927

  11. Attention through vision • Vision grabs: creating a vision which people are inspired to focus & commit Transforms purpose into action. • Bennis & Nanus (1985) http://www.vspinc.biz/hierarchybit.gif

  12. Meaning through communication • Leaders get people aligned behind new proposals, motivating & articulating clearly through influencing & organizing meaning for members of the organization. • Bennis & Nanus (1985) http://www.mainevents.co.uk/images/team_building_ring.jpg

  15. Accepting peoples emotional differences & orientations • 5 key skills are mentioned by Bennis: a) accept people as they are, not as you would like them to be & further “enter the skin” of that person, so that you have a better understanding. • b) Approach relationships & problems in terms of the present, rather than the past. • c) Treat courteously, strangers & casual acquaintances alike. d) Trust in people e) Be concerned with quality of work that emerges rather than whether or not you like them. • Bennis & Nanus (1985) http://www.xtremevortex.co.uk/images/team_building_image.jpg

  16. Empowerment • Making employees feel significant for their organization & for common purpose. “that occasional epiphany which occurs when an exquisitely complicated effort is coordinated & completed well.” • Bennis & Nanus (1985) http://www.cronyinfotech.com/wp-content/uploads/custom/people.jpg

  17. Theory Y • People will exercise self –control towards an organization goal if he is committed to them. • Hodgkinson (1991). http://professionallearning.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/08/03/0804teambuilding_3.jpg

  18. Judging motivational leadership success • “….change human nature, transform each individual, who by himself is a perfect and solitary whole, into a part of a greater whole…”p.73 Hodgkinson (1991) • To lead effectively leaders must transform and have a dedicated following amongst:- teachers, parents, children. The gains must set forth a vision or plan, invested with commitment & with “moral imagination”. Maxy & Caldas (1991) http://www.selfleadership.bus.qut.edu.au/WebObjects/SelfLeadership.woa/WebServerResources/effects_of_sl%20training_3.JPG

  19. Away from influencing towards goal setting & achievement http://shiftack.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/overwork3.jpg

  20. Transformation of people from “objects” in the world to active self –determining “subjects” • “conscious of themselves as active deciding beings, bearing responsibility for their choices and able to explain them by referring to their own purposes, ideals and beliefs • Smyth (1987) • Fay (1977) http://heystudents.com/images/students_motivation.jpg

  21. Need to penetrate the hidden curriculum • Critical pedagogy of schooling in the importance of construction and analysis of meaning in everyday experiences. • Giroux (1983) http://theapple.monster.com/nfs/theapple/attachment_images/0002/8598/shutterstock_9639703_crop380w.jpg?12252

  22. Empowering • Helping people to change their lives • Fried (1980) http://selfempowermentsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Self-Empowerment-by-empowering-others.jpg

  23. Leadership as an Act • It is an act that enables others and allows them in turn to become enablers • Watkins (1985) http://bitsstation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/leadership-300.jpg

  24. Action • By reflecting upon action, individuals and communities acquire knowledge, skills & concepts that empower them to remake & reorder if necessary, the world in which they live. • Schon, (1984) http://im.rediff.com/money/2009/nov/work.jpg

  25. Cultural Conditioning? • Teachers need to make sense of what they do through questioning their teaching in the social & political contexts in which they occur. • Shor and Friere (1987) http://imjackblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/7892_pedagogy_1.gif

  26. How they might work differently • As a consequence of going into depth with above, coming to a conclusion of how they might work differently. • Smyth (1987b) Bonk and Zhang (2008) have developed a model to help instructors target different learning styles in their course activities. The R2D2 model — Read, Reflect, Display, and Do — appeals to a wider variety of students than text-only or lecture-only instruction. It calls on instructors to include elements in the framework of their courses that focus on the following Read — targets auditory and visual learners / Reflect — targets reflective and observational learners / Display — targets visual learners / Do — targets tactile and kinesthetic learners http://introductiononlinepedagogy.pbworks.com/f/1242154232/1242154232/01F1.1_R2D2%20components.jpg

  27. Benefits • Allowing them to connect in a real way with lived experiences of students daily lives amounts to a departure from prescribed (or suggested) curriculum • Green (1978) http://thexfellowshipxofxnasa.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/prev-dare-to-be-different.jpg

  28. Thanks for considering… • Reflecting upon these ideals within Leadership style I feel I need to adopt, instill, encourage and foster, I’m conscious that these are ideal traits that should be prevalent in terms of relationship building between Leader and staff to enhance . • They are not in themselves seen as action points or in particular order of importance of dominance. • Rather I see them as essential elements, characteristics of Leader & follower ideals, in terms of reflective motivated people, with common desire to improve pedgagogies of teaching & learning. http://www.poimena.com/learninglink/wp-content/uploads/puzzle_key.png
