2. Leadership Norms Actively engage as a participant
Remain present (limit s, calls, etc.)
Ensure equity of voice
Put students and teachers first as you think about the work
Respect confidentiality
Use the “Red Flag” rule when needed (this refers to openly sharing discomfort with the group’s discussion)
Give yourself the freedom to relax and be a learner
Think both short- and long-term
Procedure:
Whole Group
Briefly read this aloud
Explain the red flag – a willingness to share when the conversation feels awkward or uncomfortable. This often moves the group to a more profound discussion.
In ILT teams discuss – 1 minute
Are there any questions about the norms?
Are there any norms we should add for our work together?
