How Do We Get There? As more is expected of all students, as the percentage of students we are having difficulty educating is increasing, & as monetary resources are more limited, the compelling question from Texas school leaders today is: What can we do to take our district to the “Next Level” of student success….and ensure that it is sustained?

The next level of success is: “ Recognized ” It Begins with Expectations “One of the key components to effective leadership is setting expectations. People will rise to the level of performance/behavior that is set for them.” P. McNamara

Setting Expectations: Key Points to Consider Make sure your team hears you cast your expectations on a regular basis. Then monitor to ensure progress towards desired expectation. Not everyone is going to agree with every decision that is made. Everyone must be held accountable. “Holding people accountable should not take the form of a dictatorship.” Set expectations high…not so high that they are impractical or unreachable. True leaders have lots of demands on them- That is usually why they are in that role.

Expectations CISD Leadership Team Our students’ academic performance will continue to improve. Our goal should be at minimum “Recognized”. We will continue to provide a safe environment for our students. We will continue to provide a caring and positive learning environment for our students and staff. All staff will remain personally accountable for student academic performance. “Failure is personal.” Intrinsic Motivation All staff will take pride in being part of CISD. All administrators will continue to fulfill the role as a “support” resource for students and staff. All administrators will continue to recognize staff members for the positive contributions they make for the district and students. All administrators will monitor and provide support for staff members who are not performing their assigned responsibilities to their maximum ability. We must all continue to “Do our job” and anything else necessary to make our students and district better.

We all need to have the same core beliefs, expectations, and level of understanding. “Why are we Here” Board Superintendent Central Office Schools Community
