Improving Education Today: The Deep Dive

Angela and Davey do a "Deep Dive" discussing shared leadership in schools, and how to avoid staff resentment when they are asked to participate on committees and in school improvement decisions.
Based on Dr. Howie Knoff's November 9, 2024 blog post, your Hosts outline a shared leadership school model that involves seven components--each supported by six school-level committees--all to improve student, staff, and school outcomes. A key to this model is the effective delegation of duties and decisions, and Angela and Davey draw on research by Blunden and Steffel which emphasizes the importance of fair and relevant task assignment to avoid staff resentment.
The discussion details various decision-making processes, from command to consensus, and when to selectively use them to encourage and sustain staff buy-in. 
Ultimately, the goal is to create a collaborative environment where staff feel empowered, contributing to enhanced school success. The discussion concludes with practical recommendations for administrators to successfully implement shared leadership in their districts, schools, or educational settings.
