The first strategy in any strategic plan should be to ensure that the system has the capacity to implement the plan once it is developed-a strategy that is too often overlooked.]]> 2017-11-13 17:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/206367079 Strategic Planning - Accomplishing Something khansen210 https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/206368616 Every leader must be a teacher just as I argue that every teacher must be a leader.  Until these and other capacity issues are addressed, strategic planning will serve little purpose other than to symbolize that something is being done, even though nothing is being accomplished.]]> 2017-11-13 17:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/206368616 Capacity khansen210 https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/206369581 Capacity to do what?  The most critical capacities in organizational life are those to innovate on a continuous basis and adjust critical systems in ways that support innovations.

1.  The capacity to establish adn maintain a focus on the future. 
2.  The capacity to maintain direction once a clear focus has been established.
3. The capacity to act strategically-that is, to reallocate existing resources, seize opportunities, and create a new future, rather than continue to be dominated by the need to solve problems that have their origins in the past.]]> 2017-11-13 17:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/206370989 Trust khansen210 https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/206372925 Trust in leaders is key to school transformation. ]]> 2017-11-13 17:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/206372925 Courage and Integrity khansen210 https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/206373262 Courage and integrity cannot be taught, but they certainly can be recognized-and without courage and integrity, superintendents, like others leaders with similar deficits, are but sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. ]]> 2017-11-13 17:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/206373262 Accountabalism khansen210 https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210254845 "Accountabilism is a type of superstitious thinking that allows us to live in a state of denial about our just how little control we individuals have over our environment."]]> 2017-11-27 04:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210254845 Slow pace of progress khansen210 https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210255073 It is this failure of the science of education to deal with the actualities that largely accounts for the slow pace of progress in educational practice.]]> 2017-11-27 04:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210255073 Effective leadership khansen210 https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210255197 The effective use of the framework requires leaders who hold themselves accountable for communicating every day the idea that engagement is a central concern and then providing those who would follow them with the tools and support they need to continuously improve their own capacity to design such work. ]]> 2017-11-27 04:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210255197 khansen210 https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210255198 2017-11-27 04:38:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210255198 Transparency khansen210 https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210255432 Each school should also have in place mechanisms for ensuring transparency in their operations and the assessment of their performance. ]]> 2017-11-27 04:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tagan/lq0usmx0b30m/wish/210255432
