Instructional Councils. Process and Content 1. The Instructional Council is concerned with both process and content. The process will be similar at all sites. It is collaboration among stakeholders working together to develop common visions for their sites. The content or issues addressed by each IC will vary in nature. What may be an instructional priority for one school community may not be for another. 2. There are two strategies usually associated with this process: site based management and shared decision-making. These strategies are dependent upon collaboration and consensus building. For shared decision making to work, the issues to be decided must be meaningful and not merely symbolic. Important decisions must be reached in a collaborative manner. Participants can readily discern the difference between involvement and influence. Without experiencing influence, participants may soon choose not to be involved. 3. IC’s are empowered to address school issues that fall within the scope of instructional improvement.
