All Improvement Requires Change, Not all Change is an Improvement

All Improvement Requires Change, Not all Change is an Improvement
Leadership requires change management. Whether it’s intentional or not, leaders will spend most of their time managing change. It could be driven by state mandates, board elections, or local community issues. Successfully managing change is what will separate a great leader from a mediocre or underperforming leader. If navigated properly, it can create a win-win environment. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case. School leaders get thrust into the change process and often do more damage than good. All improvement requires change, but not all change is an improvement. What happens when change initiatives go wrong? Outcomes don’t improve as intended, staff members become frustrated, leaders are weakened, and the culture of cynicism begins to develop making future change initiatives that much more difficult. “This too shall pass” becomes the motto of the day and now even the most promising initiatives will struggle to gain traction.

Fostering a Systematic Approach for Family Engagement

Fostering a Systematic Approach for Family Engagement
Families play a crucial and unique role in a child’s academic, social-emotional, and behavioral development and the establishment of effective family engagement strategies ensures that families have the skills and resources necessary to support and advocate for their children. The evaluation of these family engagement strategies, programming, and efforts is necessary to continuously improve and expand upon these practices. During this training, we work to understand the varying types of family engagement data, collection methods, and the components of a successful family engagement system. Participants are provided with the opportunity to develop an ‘Action Plan’ that includes action items and potential methods of delivery for their respective organizations' family engagement system.
