4. Professional development for principals, assistant
principals, and counselors will be collaborative in
nature. Cohorts will establish shared performance
goals, and then will meet periodically to
collaboratively reflect on each others’ progress,
jointly learn from one another, analyze continuing
challenges, and collectively commit to adjusted
strategies. They will also collaboratively explore
ways to drive the district’s Theory of Action deep into
the organization. Schools that are not meeting all
their goals will be assigned a Priority Manager or
other coaching help to mentor principals, collaborate
on revision of restructuring plans, and monitor
implementation of those plans.
5. Administrators will review and continue to strengthen
the employee evaluation process by fostering more
effective growth plans, practicing more quality
observations, engaging in more in-depth postobservation
conferences, and crafting more
meaningful, written recommendations and
challenges for continuous growth.
