what i learned about teams from climbing mount kilimanjaro

there has been a lot of research done on what makes teams great. google committed an entire research team to answering the question: what makes a team effective? daniel coyle explored the ins and outs of some of the world’s most successful teams in his book the culture code. and, leaders right here at 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 have compiled some of their learnings in the new team habits. i have found – ever since i started thinking about how teams work and what makes certain teams great – that i haven’t been able to stop thinking about this question; even when i was 7,620 miles from home, 5,895 meters (or 19,341 feet) above sea level, on the trip of a lifetime.

leading through change: an interview with a district coach

the ability to navigate ambiguity is a top skill of effective leaders, and there has never been a more urgent need for this skill, while simultaneously leading others through uncertainty and change. in reflecting on what sets great leaders apart, we had the opportunity to sit down with lisa whitaker, an instructional lead coach with dallas isd, who has a ph.d. in health and public service and has also served as a k-12 teacher and adjunct professor over her 12 years in education.

teacher leaders creating change in kenai

the team was sitting together after the final workshop for the final wave of schools jovially enjoying the moment with a sense of accomplishment. we did it. teams and plans are in place and the momentum is palpable. as we focused on the task for the next hour we had set aside for strategic planning, the question surfaced immediately…what now? the flood gates opened and the previous celebratory moment became distant somehow as we stood staring at the warp speed status…warp 8, warp 9. what did we need to maintain a steady-on course at warp 10? we are a rural, alaskan district the size of west virginia with an impressive amount of diversity within our realm. our challenges are significant, but this point in our growth is not unique to us. our 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 partners had seen this before. in the kenai, we navigate our waters with practiced skill, but we are talking about changing our paradigm…we are now operating under the belief that everyone in our organization deserves their learning and growth to be personalized. can we personalize professional development for teachers? is it possible to build leadership opportunities for teachers who don’t want to leave the classroom? can teacher leadership impact the culture of professional growth in schools? yes! this is possible!
