  1. Frank M. Silvia/North End Instructional Leadership Team Presentation “Staying Focused on the Focus”

  2. Role of the ILT • The role of our ILT is to strengthen all aspects of our school • HOW?…. • Disaggregate data • Focus on our school-wide focus • Honest conversations • Make tough decisions (not final decisions) • Share concerns, initiatives, etc. to staff • Plan and implement PD

  3. Membership • Open invitation to ALL staff • no cap on the size of the team • volunteer basis • Principal is an active member - not the leader • We currently have 17 members (most grade levels are represented along with coaches, itinerants, and specialists)

  4. Structures and Protocols • Members of ILT meet three times during the summer months to brainstorm ideas for the upcoming school year • Schedule is set at the beginning of the year • Meet every other week (Thursdays from 3:45-5:00) • Members let principal know if they cannot attend • Agendas set from the previous meeting • Meeting Norms and Roles are followed (keeps us focused) • Sign-in sheet (for PDPs) • Notes taken and given to ALL staff

  5. How the ILT keeps the “Focus on the Focus” • Overview (Example #1) • ELT Leadership Team brings information from network meetings to the ILT • Share discussions, next steps, responsibilities, time lines, etc. • ILT gives valuable input and then decisions are made on how to present information to the staff • Staff receives information and final school-wide decisions are made

  6. Example #2 • ILT has discussions about the school-wide focus and what type of professional development is needed around comprehension (our focus) • Set schedules for PD • ILT members often give the PD - work together • Follow-up at next ILT meeting about how PD went and next steps • Teachers asked to post artifacts after PD given to common planning or next staff meeting

  7. Other Responsibilities... • School Improvement Plan • MCAS Data • ELT Performance Agreement • Budget • Check common planning minutes • New Teachers - check in • Other PD opportunities (science, math) • Oversee other committee work

  8. Lessons Learned... • Principal had always served as the facilitator…now we all share the roles • Attendance taken/consistent - keeps members committed • Distribute notes to ALL staff • Staff input is VITAL to the success of a school • Next steps in place before we leave • We needed meeting norms - created them and now always follow them • Stay on schedule- leave on time (5:00) • Less is more (keep agenda as short as possible) • Challenges around the new evaluation tool-connecting it to our focus
