Building Toward a Collaborative Culture Focused on Accelerating Student Achievement

This two-day program is designed to support the role of principals in how to build and support effective learning communities. Administrators are introduced to the Failure Is Not an Option^® Six Principles and how they work together as a system to leverage existing professional development and school improvement resources. Administrators will explore how to build collective responsibility for student success and to identify their existing structures that can support a learning community. They will also incorporate their own professional experiences combined with the content from this workshop into a plan of action for their particular school.

The Failure Is Not an Option^® (FNO) Six Principles That Guide Student Achievement are:

• Common Mission, Vision, Values, and Goals
• Ensuring Achievement for All Students: Systems for Prevention and Intervention
• Collaborative Teaming Focused on Teaching and Learning
• Using Data to Guide Decision Making and Continuous Improvement
• Gaining Active Engagement from Family and Community
• Building Sustainable Leadership Capacity

Conducted by a HOPE Faculty consultant on-site in your district, the essential questions that guide this program include:

• What is our role as leaders in the process of supporting high impact professional development focused on improved classroom instruction?

• How can we build the commitment to change at our school sites?
