  1. Meeting the Challenges of Implementation

  2. 4 Requirements of Effective Instructional Leadership • Ensure that all personnel are engaged in CCSS implementation through rigorous lesson design. • Provide high quality professional development and support. • Monitor progress toward implementation through walkthroughs, meetings, feedback, etc. • Publicly communicate your status in implementing the CCSS to your stakeholders monthly.

  3. Engagement/Motivation • Choose the motivational strategy you believe to be most effective with your staff members. • Public Recognition • Private Recognition • Financial Bonuses • Threats and Punishments • Constructive Feedback

  4. Engagement/Motivation • Think back to a time when you received feedback that allowed you to do a better job. • What was it about that feedback that made it so effective? • Share your thoughts with someone else at your table.

  5. Effective Feedback The essential boundaries for effective feedback are: • Accurate • Specific • Timely • Fair Douglas Reeves, July 2011

  6. Challenges The average staff contains: • 17% Leaders • 53% Model Teachers • 28% Skeptics • 2% Cynics What is the difference between a skeptic and a cynic? Douglas Reeves, July 2011

  7. Skeptics vs. Cynics • A skeptic is “a doubter of accepted beliefs” • A cynic is “somebody who believes that human actions are insincere…” • Encarta Dictionary

  8. Skeptics vs. Cynics • Using the description of a skeptic and a cynic; at your table, describe how each would respond to the following statement: “All students can meet the rigor of the Common Core State Standards”

  9. Skeptics vs. Cynics • A skeptic’s response: “I don’t know – I’ve really worked hard with some students, and they still refused to do the work and were defiant and oppositional. I’ll need to see more evidence that all students can succeed.” • A cynic’s response: “No way – some kids got it and some don’t, and if you believe anything else you’re just being politically correct.”

  10. Skeptics vs. Cynics Possible leadership strategies: • Don’t underestimate the value of experience. • Engage willing volunteers for action research and measure gains in achievement. • Acknowledge that the goal is proficiency not perfection. • Create safe spaces and times for skepticism, but ban cynicism.

  11. Skeptics vs. Cynics Take some time with a partner to complete the responses from these two types of people and develop leadership strategies to positively address the responses.
