Lopez Lobos ALWAYS, Always, always…Lead the Pack! Lopez High School
Our Beliefs About Distributed Leadership • “School principals, or any other leader for that matter, do not single-handedly lead schools to greatness; leadership involves an array of individuals with various tools and structures” (Spillane, 2008) • “Leadership is distributed not by delegating it or giving it away, but by weaving together people, materials, and organizational structures in a common cause” (Spillane,2001)
High Performing Group Activity • On one side of your index card write the name of a high performing group you were have been part of at some point in your life.(basketball team, Bible study group, etc) • On the other side, write 3 characteristics that made it high performing. • At your table, the person with the prettiest shoes will begin sharing. Then the person to his/her right will share until all members have participated in this part of the activity. • During the general discussion be ready to share at least five characteristics that your group had in common.
Reflection • Do you think our faculty mirrors the list of high performing characteristics? • Since everyone brings this experience with them to work everyday, how could we replicate this experience in order to improve our performance this year as a faculty,in our grade levels or departments?
