Leadership Oportunities

This year we will be launching some initiatives to continue our growth
as educators and as a school.  For those of you looking to take on a
leadership role at the school I will be looking for a co-facilitator for
some of these initiatives. Below are the initiatives that will have a
co-facilitator if anyone is interested.  We are still going to have our ILT
(Leadership Team) that will be the driving force for leading the charge for
school improvement.  There will be 5 open spots (since it is an application
process each year) for those also interested in being part of the ILT.


2008-09 school initiatives


First 5/Last 5 - Lesson Anchoring

Volunteer PD

Coaching Guidelines/ Stages

Data Team (this may be more than one)

Professional Learning Communities (i.e. team meeting protocol, peer
collaboration days, peer observations)

F.O.C.U.S work - this was the document that the ILT developed from your
feedback to detail what focused and rigorous learning, ownership, continuous
improvement,  urgency to maximize instruction, and support looks and sounds
like.
