High level summary & take-away:
Laylah Action Item: send around appraisal webinar link, playbook intro section, and follow-up email to group this week.
High level summary & take-away:
- The Executive Reflective Practice Inventory is where to start (will help to build goals). Goals created by Executive should include personal growth goals and broader system related goals to develop the school.
- Recommends meet monthly.
- Have a group wide discussion to establish working agreement and norms. Most successful groups have prioritized candor, held regular meetings, and set strong agreements for purpose and tenor of meetings up front.
- Make a time for
- Reporting,
- Review of the tools (constantly come back to this as a grounding point),
- Executive sharing of needs/concerns (celebrations & challenges)
- Team coaching and feedback/support ideas.
- Make a time for
- When establishing working agreement consider:
- How will the members of the group communicate (only 'live', combo of 'live' and email)?
- How will meetings start (consider how will always ground to mission vision and tools being used)?
- Always have 3 tools handy at each meeting: Annual Review Portfolio, Executive Appraisal Instrument, EEMPS Rubric. (Laylah side note: always referring to HOS PD and Accountability plan would be useful for Commission reporting...I will reference this in my updates).
- How will these tools be modified for this planning year (acknowledging January will look different from April/May when we actually have parents and students registered)?
- Who will LESC request be surveyed for feedback in January versus April/May? How might the surveys distributed by PCM management look over the planning year (January versus April/May)? This feedback should provide insight into stakeholders thoughts about school and Executive performance for how it relates to them. (Laylah side note: January - stakeholders, advisory groups, board, committees, PCM staff; April-May - same but swap advisory groups with PCM families (unless advisory groups still apply and are different than PCM families. Recommend short google surveys or short surveys set through another platform that is user friendly).
- How will meetings end (action items?, who takes minutes in BoT?, commitments to prep work.)?
Laylah Action Item: send around appraisal webinar link, playbook intro section, and follow-up email to group this week.
