4 Questions to Guide Your Instructional Leadership Team

School leadership teams have the potential to building collective leader efficacy (CLE), which means that what they set as a goal together will have a positive impact on the student learning conditions. This video focuses briefly on the driver, focus, contributor and preconditions to build CLE and then goes into 4 deep questions that all school leadership teams can use to guide their collaborative practices.

We are attempting to restructure and re-set our Instructional Leadership team after the pandemic. This video was helpful - Collective Leadership Efficacy is a wonderful term that I plan to use as we work through this restructuring process. As a principal, guiding this team can be a challenge but I think is some of the most important work I can do as a leader. It is so complex!

Thank you for watching, Megan. I'm glad you found it helpful. Here is a link to a recent video I uploaded on developing an instructional leadership team. ua-cam.com/video/ibyrCPqKkxQ/v-deo.html

Always great insight, Peter! Deficit thinking will be a significant factor when looking at the data collected for learning loss during this pandemic. I am, as you know, one of your biggest fans and have been in education for 25 plus years. Meeting people where they are is a great way to start! We cannot make up lost time, but make the most of our time. Leaders need your wisdom and support! Keep sharing, shining and stating the stuff to get to the destination of success.

Thanks so very much for this video. It was quite meaningful and yet informal. We are going in to our second year of establishing instructional leadership teams on campuses. Choosing what staff to place on leadership team and a method for that as well as bringing out shared leadership as a committee would help very much. How is this done? How do we get leaders to build skills of the people on their team- especially the teacher leaders on the team

Thank you for watching this video Donna. Your questions and good ones, and have multiple layers. I do focus on all of that in my book on collective leader efficacy. That is not meant to be a hook but more to say that I have answered those questions in depth. Here is a video on my channel that may help ua-cam.com/video/qsYe6dl3nmI/v-deo.html
