Specific Topics to Be Addressed:
Sharing/Developing new initiatives with teachers
Creating teacher buy-in Working toward short-term gains Guiding instructional change at the
classroom level Keeping staff focused on the vision Dealing with mid-course modifications and

Today’s Work
1Sharing/Developing New Initiatives with Teachers
Creating teacher buy-in
Use of teacher leaders/mentors
Effective collection and use of teacher input and feedback
Obstacles and barriers- not allowing these to become excuses

APK
Think back to a time when you were teaching and a new initiative was put into place and you thought it was ridiculous. Or, think of a time since you have been an administrator and your district asked you to go back to your school and implement an initiative that you thought was ridiculous.

Tools and Protocols
Teacher Surveys + Feedback
When and why should teacher feedback be asked for and used?
How can this be done well?

APK: Which of These Questions Resonates With You?
How do we recognize and support teachers who are working towards implementation?
How do I support teachers who are moving forward without
causing issues with teachers who are not?
How do you give good descriptive feedback to teachers that are putting theory into action?
How do I help teachers move forward who seem stuck, or resentful?
![Page 13: Alaska Summer Leadership Institute 2012](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110405/5681335d550346895d9a7463/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tools and Protocols
We will use the Commit and Toss Protocol to explore ways that school leaders can provide positive feedback to teachers that get on board quickly, and see benefits for themselves and their students that support the initiative.

Scenario Warm-up :
Work with a partner to put the list of scenarios into the order of most disruptive to the initiative, (we better deal with this today) to least disruptive, (we need more discussion and we can deal with this over time.)
![Page 17: Alaska Summer Leadership Institute 2012](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110405/5681335d550346895d9a7463/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Scenarios
1. The teachers (and students) realize that the
materials are at least a grade level above the current standards.
2. The district comes to the conclusion that the purchased program does not really align to the standards.
3. The technology is not working properly.4. The data reports generated from the new
assessment system are impossible to understand.
5. One member of the staff is going from room to room before and after school to discourage others from implementation.

Table Discussion
Often times the day-to-day issues with an initiative have long lasting, negative impacts on whether implementation takes hold.
What happens when issues related to implementation come up that are legitimate and need school leader attention and re-direction?
![Page 19: Alaska Summer Leadership Institute 2012](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110405/5681335d550346895d9a7463/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Looking Back at the Electronic Lesson Planning Initiative
What was done in AGSD to foster teacher involvement and encourage growth?
![Page 20: Alaska Summer Leadership Institute 2012](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110405/5681335d550346895d9a7463/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Each sustained program moves through
four stages of development called: Establishment Maturation Evolution
Initiatives Go Through Stages as They Move Toward Sustainability
![Page 21: Alaska Summer Leadership Institute 2012](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110405/5681335d550346895d9a7463/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Establishment
The establishment phase focuses on introducing the program and then making sure that its core elements (e.g., curriculum, leadership structures, professional development) are well established and working efficiently and predictably.
![Page 22: Alaska Summer Leadership Institute 2012](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110405/5681335d550346895d9a7463/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Maturation
The maturation phase focuses on making sure that the program is widely accepted and that implementation is habitual, even after the “newness” has worn off.
![Page 23: Alaska Summer Leadership Institute 2012](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022110405/5681335d550346895d9a7463/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Evolution
The evolution phase focuses on growth and
improvement. Leaders concentrate on
understanding what is currently going on with the initiative and addressing the challenges of
resources, materials, and professional
development.
At the same time, they work on
helping teachers develop a deeper understanding
of the philosophy of the initiative and how it
plays out in the classroom.
