Reflecting on 21st Century Literacies | Edutopia - 0 views

  • we keep talking about the 21st century skills our students need to acquire. One day soon, I trust someone will come up with a new way to reference these skills that does not connect them to the century in which we live. Someone might simply and boldly state that these are just 'skills’ which every educated person needs to own in order to be a productive member of society.

Cultivating Healthy Teams in Schools | Edutopia - 0 views

  • Team members can identify the component of their mission that they're working toward and maintain a laser-like focus on it.
    • Jill Bergeron
       
      Are Chandler's teachers easily able to identify what part of the mission they are working on? Have they been given an opportunity to participate in the crafting of this mission?
  • A team that operates within a school should be aligned to that school's vision, mission, goals, and strategic plans. This could be considered vertical alignment of efforts. Teams also need to align horizontally -- what one team does needs to complement another team's work.
  • What piece of our school's vision are we working toward? Which components of our mission are we upholding? Which of our long-term or annual goals are we contributing to? What specifically will this team need to do in order to move our school forward on its vision and goals?

  • Team members need these connections laid out. When the intersections of purpose and work become clear, team members are more likely to feel energized, motivated, and valued.
  • The most important resource for a team is time -- time for the facilitator to prepare as well as time for teams to collaborate. Teams must meet consistently and focus their time on what matters: implementing a work plan, learning together, and building strong relationships with each other.
  • A team's potential for greatness depends on many factors, including the emotional intelligence of team members and the organizational conditions in the school or district that houses the team.
  • The most effective schools and organizations have a mission and vision that motivates, unifies, and guides all stakeholders in their day-to-day operations. Short- and long-term goals for the school align to the mission and vision and are regularly reflected on.
