Leadership Teams

  Consider this scenario: You are the new principal at a low performing middle school. You learn your new school does not have any type of school improvement or instructional leadership team in place. Because of everything you learned about instructional leadership in this program, you feel it is critical to have an effective team in place. Create a plan that details the steps you would take to create this team and to guide their work that leads to improving the academic performance of your school. In your plan, be sure to have answers to the following questions: What information or process will be used to determine team members? Is being on a team an expectation or invitation? What types of information will you provide to create the “why?” behind their work? What is the first issue or task you would like for them to tackle? Considering some of the information you learned from this week's readings on leadership styles, what style will you employ to motivate your team? What are two (2) examples of things you will do that support the chosen leadership style?
