Collaboration: The Art Form of Leadership
Leading for Results in a Tribes Learning Community
12-hour Leadership Academy
There no longer is any doubt that the most effective and powerful way to achieve and sustain substantive school improvement is by building the capacity of "inside" school personnel to work together as a professional learning community.
– Jeanne Gibbs
Purpose:
School leaders and leadership teams will complete authentic leadership tasks and gain a new exciting view of their roles in re-culturing the school. The Tribes collegial team learning experiences will create a professional learning community environment that will support and sustain increasing student learning and achievement.
The training will help participants answer the following questions:
- What ideas, tools, and structures help leaders facilitate school-wide change?
- How do you build the capacities of a leadership team?
- What unique knowledge or skills do leaders need to work with adult learners?
- How can we increase trust, common knowledge, energy, and hope within our leadership team?
- How do you utilize the Tribes TLC process as a seamless bridge to create professional collaborative learning communities?
- How does living the Tribes Trail build the relational trust, collegiality and resiliency that are critical for school improvement?
- How do we have reflective conversations around tough issues and continue to grow a caring culture?
