Key learnings from my interviews of an administrator, TOSA, and teacher involved in a District
level team
Standard 1.1
Build a common vision and mission with group from the beginning
Ensure the information that goes out asking for committee
members clearly communicates the purpose of the group and the qualities of
team members involved
Communicate the why - the mission at each session and
at each crucial step
Communication with everyone involved is crucial
Must communicated the short and long term goals of the
team and be prepared to adjust based on the feedback of the team
Emphasize how the current work fits into the
longer timeline and supports the vision/mission of the team
Regularly communicate with the team - follow up emails
with summaries of what was accomplished and what the next steps are; check
- in emails with team members when longer distances between meetings to
remind them of next steps
Check in face to face to demonstrate enthusiasm and that
you value their opinions, also a chance to read their body language and
enthusiasm levels
Standard 1.2
Communicate one on one to maintain dignity, and ensure participants
feel heard individually
Co-create norms for the group that allow for accountability of action and
professional behavior by all since they were apart of the creation of them
Dont be afraid of the difficult conversations when one or
more of the team members break the norms or begin to sabotage the group
Keep students at the forefront
Standard 1.3
Plan time for the group to get to know each other - even if people have
taught in the same building/district for years
Build community and group commitment to the work at
hand
