This tip discusses how school leaders can build a strong learning-focused environment in their district or school.
High-Impact Leaders Ask:
- When do teachers come together to talk about teaching and learning?
- What are the expectations for teachers to continue their professional development?
- Have we established a culture of questioning and inquiry?
- Is professional development site-specific and aligned with the needs assessment and goals of the school?
- Do teachers use assessment results to drive instructional decisions on an ongoing basis?
- Do teachers have opportunities for looking at student work?
- Do we see ourselves as a community of learners that can continuously improve through collaboration, assessment of results, and reflection?
===> A high-impact school is a community of practice in which learning, experimentation, and reflection are the norm. <===
There is a sense of common purpose based on a collective understanding of the community served by the school and the staff’s capacity to work together toward this common purpose. Everyone works together to assure that diverse voices and beliefs are heard and that consensus truly results in what is good for the whole school and every student.
A MUST read!
