Learning communities: Where improvement is driven by the
commitment to improving students' learning, well-being, and
achievement; where the process of improvement is heavily informed by
professional learning and inquiry into students' learning and into
effective principles of teaching and learning in general; and where any problems are addressed through organizational learning in which
everyone in the organization learns their way out of the problems
instead of jumping for off-the-shelf, quick-fix solutions. p 128
Leading to Learn & Learning to Lead
Form a TRIAD of mixed job responsibilities. Share your responses to the following questions:
• How do you distribute your own time and energy across Quadrants I and II behaviors?
• How do you recognize and stop the drift into Quadrant III behaviors?
• What do you do when
you notice a fellow leader drifting into Quadrant III behaviors?
At your tables:
• Discuss where your CTs currently fall into place on the PLC Flow diagram.
• How does this lens inform your planning work?
• How will you address the needs of teams as they move around on this framework?
"To keep your teams at a level of optimal performance, you must achieve
the proper balance between their current knowledge and skill level and
the level of complexity for the new task actions or challenges." p 138
Leadership Metacognition
What commitments can and will you make to this team about how you will lead in ISD 191 this year?
My Own Behaviors and Thinking
(When no one is looking)
My Leadership of Others(How I lead and direct others)
60 Second LectureJoin 2 - 3 schools into table groups, use the "60 Second Lecture" protocol to share your response to the following questions:
• How did you share the Strategic Roadmap with your staff or dept this fall?
• What were some of the responses/reactions?
Connecting the Dots...
Discuss and identify our next steps to develop:
• Direct alignment of Improvement Plans, Vision Cards, and Roadmap
• Common formative and summative assessments for Vision Cards that also serve as evidence for Improvement Plans
• District-wide understanding of the direction, the purposes, and the pieces
"A rock-solid school vision acts as a constraint on actions that are inconsistent with it. It
is designed to unleash and then focus the energies of the school in a common direction for the greater good of student and adult learning. Although you need to understand your
personal vision well, your ultimate goal is to merge the
personal visions of all those in your sphere of influence into a single clear, concrete message about which adult actions will
move your school closer to your desired future." Kanold, p 17
As we roll forward with a district vision, what do you see as our greatest challenge? How can we use the power of collaboration and
partnership to overcome it?
