A Program of Facilitative Leadership for Pittsfield Public Schools Participants
Shared Leadership
- Leadership is the professional work of everyone in the school.
- Linking leadership and learning: we are all responsible for student learning, for our own learning, and the learning of our colleagues.
- Learning and leading are linked in the school community.
- Everyone has the ability, right, and responsibility to be a leader.
- Educators wish to develop and be professionals. Leadership is an essential aspect of being an educator.
- Educators and policy makers all want to produce sustainable school improvement. The development of leadership capacity provides that framework.
- "Shared Leadership" is the goal. "Facilitative Leadership" is the means to achieve that goal.
Facilitative Leadership
- Leadership in schools is complex and interdependent. Leaders not only control resources; they facilitate and involve others in the process of change and continuous improvement.
- The challenge of leadership involves every one of us. We all have the responsibility for the success of our students' learning.
- Developing leadership capability requires self-awareness, skills development, and personal commitment.
Facilitative Leadership is organized around seven practices (repeated action/behavior that leads to proficiency). For each practice of Facilitative Leadership, we will focus on awareness-building and skill development to be used in everyday work situations.
Goals:
- Reach a broader awareness of yourself as a leader—your behavior, mind-set, aspirations.
- Use Leadership skills and tools to tap the creativity and experience of those you work with.
- Develop a vision of the impact you want to have as a leader, and an action plan for improving the learning environment of the school.
