COLLABORATIVE CULTURE Support Working together, sharing ideas and being supported to update knowledge and skills Diversity Systems SUPPORT
Develop the key competencies in your adults Staff feedback - induction, satisfaction, and exit  This is an easy way to initiate a PLC Yeah RIGHT!
What are we currently doing in our school? What connections have you made?
FOCUS ON RESULTS CHALLENGE Challenge To raise student achievement through evidence based learning conversations Building capacity Professional Inquiry Implementing a PLC - beyond support
Q1 I’ll decide Colleague’s job efficiency level Extent of leader’s control over colleagues’ decisions and actions Q2 We’ll discuss I’ll decide Q3 We’ll discuss We’ll decide Q4 You  decide Wilf Jarvis - Four Quadrant Leadership
School Talk Non-learning Talk Learning Talk Teacher practice, student learning and so what? Non-teaching Talk Eg organisation, resourcing Teacher Practices Talk Describes practice without attached analysis or learning Professional Inquiry Adapted from Annan, Lai & Robinson 2003 With recognition to Roween Higgie,  Principal of Remuera School
Human systems move in the direction of what they most frequently and persistently ask questions about.  What you study G R O W S Yeah RIGHT! Firebox - Auger - Tuyere
What are the things you persistently ask questions about in your school?  Are these the most important things?  What one area do you want to work on next in order to bring about the next step of your challenge? If you’re not moving forward you’re going backward.
RELATIONSHIPS CULTURE BUILDING Sustaining the change Sustaining a PLC - beyond support and challenge
Shared norms  values and beliefs about learning Reflecting on our meeting time… Which aspects of our team charter are we using well? What’s not working so well, that we need to focus on more? What resources/informaton do we need to help us? Wider Involvement "Don't let this be a onetime thing.”  "It would be good if teachers have this conversation with us on the first day. But often, they don't change anything."
Increased Trust =  Increased speed + Decreased cost Increased focus on learning Adapted from  The Speed of Trust  by Stephen Covey DWWSWWD
Decreased Trust results in…  decreased speed + increased cost Decreased focus on learning Adapted from  The Speed of Trust  by Stephen Covey When the safety and well being of students is compromised challenge comes before support.
Yeah RIGHT! Embed feedback systems for students, staff and parents into your ‘way of doing things’ - never assume! Find safe ways of getting feedback about yourself and take action You can’t do it alone. It’s messy. It’s moral. It’s everyone’s responsibility!
Trust….credibility…   … .Shared norms….   … whose voices…. What would your staff say about the relationships you have?
FOCUS ON LEARNING What do we want  each child to learn? WHY? How will we know when  each child has learnt it? How will we respond when students experience difficulties in learning? DuFour et al, 2004
http://twentyfivedays.wordpress.com/ Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach http://www.21stcenturycollaborative.com/
