3 Challenges Improve Academic Performance
Improve School Climate Increase Use of Data Driven Instruction Increase Parent Community Involvement Increase Teacher Quality Increase Learning Time Increase Leadership Effectiveness In the application, TEA has identified seven critical success factors that we will be tracking data and collecting data on the grantee campuses. You can see these seven factors on your screen ranging from improving academic performance, increasing leadership and effectiveness, increase learning time, increasing teacher quality, increase parent and community involvement, increase the use of data for driving decision making and instruction, and improving the school climate. Also in the application you will hear TEA discussion of the critical success factors and milestones. Now, milestones are the key strategies that establish the foundation for which the critical success factors are built. So while the terminology may be slightly different than what you are accustomed to using within your LEA, you will be required to measure progress toward each of these milestones on the critical success factors. HANDOUT You have a handout which details each of the seven critical success factors and the milestones appropriate to each. Each of the milestones within each critical success factor are basic data elements that the agency has identified that we feel are important to the success of this grant program. As you review the application process and you determine which models to implement on your eligible campuses, review this handout containing the critical success factors and milestones to be achieved and use this information in your program planning, because if you are awarded a grant, you will be required to submit data tied back to each of the critical success factors and milestones in the quarterly implementation reports as well as the data that will be collected at the end of each grant year.

6 Our Beliefs About Distributed Leadership
“School principals, or any other leader for that matter, do not single-handedly lead schools to greatness; leadership involves an array of individuals with various tools and structures” (Spillane, 2008) “Leadership is distributed not by delegating it or giving it away, but by weaving together people, materials, and organizational structures in a common cause” (Spillane,2001)

7 Dealing With Change: “Lead Around The Leaf”

8 High Performing Group Activity
On one side of your index card write the name of a high performing group you were have been part of at some point in your life.(basketball team, Bible study group, etc) On the other side, write 3 characteristics that made it high performing. At your table, the person with the prettiest shoes will begin sharing. Then the person to his/her right will share until all members have participated in this part of the activity. During the general discussion be ready to share at least five characteristics that your group had in common.

9 Reflection Do you think our faculty mirrors the list of high performing characteristics? Since everyone brings this experience with them to work everyday, how could we replicate this experience in order to improve our performance this year as a faculty,in our grade levels or departments?
