Develop Option
Grants are generally for specific periods of time, we should
develop a plan for replacing staff that may exit as the grant winds down. We
should chronicle the progress and detail the process used to achieve the goal.
We should create a culture where this is an expectation and a sign exemplary
work. As we check-in periodically, i.e. quarterly etc. as the leader I should
recognize the efforts of those who adapt the road map plan. We create a road
map for any employee hired after the project has begun, particularly if that
employee replaces someone who leaves the organization.
Monitor
As stated in options, we must monitor our 1-2-3 year plan
periodically so we can make adjustments to continue success or fix what is not
working.
Check-in with staff to make sure everyone feels valued. Ask
for suggestions or recommendations to improve upon our current strategy
Kathie - Great leaders recognize that they do not lead alone. I like your idea about checking in with monthly or quarterly. As the math coach at my site, I check with my teachers weekly. It is a way to support teachers and help them grow as professionals. Checking in with them weekly has helped build trusting relationships. As the year has developed teachers have opened up and are more willing to take chances forcing them to step out of their comfort zone and grow.
ReplyDeleteKathie have you thought about using a web based collaboration tool (Google docs, forms, wiki...) for your plans? This would allow easy access to the plan and updates. People could reference it from their smart phones or tablets.
