Leadership is the answer…is it not?
Whether we are talking about the national, global, state or school district leadership–leadership is a key consideration.
On Friday, October 8, I experienced my first Skype conference with the Leadership Team of facilitators of the Teacher Leadership Academy in the Denver Public Schools. Nikki Rivera and her colleagues are doing an extraordinary job of putting into place the major dimensions for a success program: the structure, training, roles, interconnections and relationship to provide a fabric for success.
As with all such programs, I’ve found that the most vital questions are: How to best work with principals in the implementation of new role dynamics? and How to best work with teachers reluctant to support such changes.
Such a discussion is vital in all arenas transitioning through changing times. Join us. Next week I’ll continue with Taos stories and begin to respond to the above questions.
Wishing you blue skies, Linda

Linda,
As always, you hit the nail right on the head. Working through role changes, not just focusing on events, is so critical to successful schools. I think of my role as a parent and how much I’ve had to change my perspective as our teen acquires new skills and knowledge–and wants to use them faster than I’m often ready to “allow!” It’s a reciprocal journey (to use one of your favorite words), that’s for sure, at home as at work!
