School Leadership. Leadership is the most important element of school turnaround; without quality leaders, schools will not improve.
School Leadership. A. Employees will be nominated by themselves, their respective departments or grade-levels and selected by the school’s administration to serve on their school’s leadership team. Each high school shall receive three hundred twenty-five ($325) per full-time equivalent (FTE) employee for school leadership. Each middle school will receive twelve (12) stipends of $1,000 each for school leadership. Each elementary school will receive ten (10) stipends of $1,000 each for school leadership. The Special Education program will have a leadership team with a minimum of ten (10) stipends at $1,000 each for program shared leadership.
B. Each school and program will practice a shared leadership model whereby employees are consulted and take part in decisions and implementation of decisions affecting their classroom or assignment. Shared leadership involves the equitable participation of employees in decisions affecting their classroom or assignment. Participation in decision making may mean input, influence or consensus. Input is the genuine opportunity to submit information and/or to be heard by the decision makers. The decision makers are responsible for expressing how the input is fed into the rationale for making the decision. Influence is the opportunity to be able to affect an outcome or decision in a significant way as to have visible impact on a process and/or decision. Consensus is the result of a process in which all parties support the decision even if it is not their first preference, and if full consensus is not reached the parties have agreed upon the minimum level of support in order for the decision to move forward. Equitable participation does not necessitate equality. It is the recognition and practice of fair treatment based upon an agreed and common philosophy, standards and/or objective criteria in making decisions for the benefit of the system.
C. Employees and building/program administrators shall work together to reach consensus on a matrix identifying which decisions are subject to input, influence or consent within their jurisdiction of decision making. Each year the school leadership team will review and adjust their decision matrix as needed. The decision matrix shall be communicated to the staff on a yearly basis. Through shared decision making, the District and Association do not delegate their legal authority to amend the collective bargaining agreement or bargain wages, hours and working conditions.
D. The District, in cooperation with th...
School Leadership. Principals within the Zone shall have both an unprecedented level of decision-‐making authority and support in order to create learning environments centered on student learning.
School Leadership. This section presents findings from capacity-building interventions aimed at enhancing the quality of school leadership through in-service professional development and networking among school principals, supervisors and district-level staff. Extensive evaluation by MSN’s M&E research points to the significant success of MSN’s interventions aimed at effectively creating mutually supportive communities of practice for school leadership and classroom instruction. Based on internal evaluation surveys, principals’ satisfaction with the Leadership Diploma Program was consistently high. The most significant percentage changes between the beginning (pre-) and end of program (post-) evaluations were reflected in the overall framework and logistics (4%) and results (3%), as well as the role of facilitators (3%). AMIDEAST also created the Scale of Principals’ Satisfaction with Professional Development, which consisted of seven questions designed to gauge principals’ perceptions about the effectiveness of their professional development experiences with regard to their relationships with teachers, students, and other principals; how new ideas and skills improved their work performance; how well their professional development aligned with the objectives of the school improvement plan (SIP); and how satisfied they were with the overall quality of the professional development activities. Based on these indicators, principals’ overall satisfaction with the impact of their professional development experience on their leadership capacity had increased by 7.6% at the conclusion of the program. Despite these positive levels of satisfaction, some principals were unable to complete the MSN Leadership Development Program because they were transferred to schools outside the MSN network. Over the course of MSN’s leadership program, 35% of the principals were transferred to other schools. This instability occurred even after specific understandings had been reached with the MoE about the importance of continuity in school leadership. Clearly, Ministry policies and procedures regarding principal and teacher transfers need to be revisited for any nationally scaled program of in-service professional development.
