4 senses of character-based leadership | SmartBlogs SmartBlogs - 1 views

  • 4 senses of character-based leadership
  • Sense of mission:
  • Without accomplishment, there is no need for a leader. Leadership implies motion. Motion without direction is wasted.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • If there is no urgency, if the thing can be done “whenever,” then there is little need for leadership.
  • Sense of urgency:
  • Sense of responsibility: Responsibility is the understanding not only that something must be done, but also that you must do it.
  • Sense of service: If your mission serves only yourself or a small crowd, you have no chance of becoming a great leader.
  •  
    How does your leadership incorporate these traits?

Collective Action Toolkit - 0 views

  •  
    Really interesting set of linked protocols for organizational planning. "The Collective Action Toolkit isn't a rigid template for problem solving. It's designed to be flexible and accessible, with an action map and activities arranged into six categories, from building a group, to imagining new ideas, to planning change. The toolkit challenges groups to move beyond discussion to action, continually clarifying their shared goals based on what they learn through the problem-solving process."

Tom Vander Ark: Show What You Know - 0 views

    "Like diplomas, credentialing is a market signalling activity -- credentials tell the world what you know and can do. With all of the new learning options, it is becoming more important to have widely recognized means to show what you know and can do."

    This is the evolution of education. Certificates of Focus, online learning, competency-based learning, internships, ELOs...the signs are everywhere. It is just going to take a school with the guts to blow up the system and make real and deep changes.

Teachers carry their views on evaluations from online to Albany | GothamSchools - 0 views

  • The teachers’ goal was to devise recommendations based on teachers’ own experience for what measures districts should consider when evaluating teachers, and how heavily each of those measures should be weighted.
  • focused on breaking down “the culture of ‘closed doors’”
  • Under the state’s teacher evaluation deal passed last May, teachers will be given a score on a new 100-point scale, with 40 of those points determined by student achievement data.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The remaining 60 points will be determined through “local assessments,” which will take forms that must be negotiated by school districts and their local unions. The law leaves open what those assessments could look like. Newly-developed tests or portfolio demonstrations of student work are two ideas that state officials have mentioned as possibilities.
  • One aspect of the local assessments is clear: they all must meet new regulations that are currently being developed by a state task force led by Deputy Education Commissioner John King.
  • The group ended up recommending that the 60 points be spread across five different evaluation measures, giving the most weight to observations by school administrators and other teachers in the school. A sixth measure — student portfolio work — was considered but abandoned, because the increase in paperwork for teachers seemed too high for the value the portfolios would provide for the evaluations, Anderson said.

    If you were to design the new teacher evaluation system, what would you include? What opportunities would you want this evaluation system to bring to light?

State Case Studies Offer Professional-Development Insights - 0 views

  • Common standards for professional development that are integrated into licensure and certification systems; • Emerging efforts to audit and monitor the quality of professional development; • Mentoring and induction requirements for new teachers, some of which are enforced; • A network and infrastructure that offer support for site-based professional development; and • Stability of resources, even during the economic downturn.
  •  
    I work in a district with a very strong professional development program. I am wondering how other schools/districts monitor the quality of their programs/offerings and/or the implementation of strategies in the classroom. Any ideas?
