“Obviously, there are times when we must speak out on an issue publicly. We may have particular expertise on a
matter, or it may affect people we are responsible for, or our conscience may be provoked in a powerful way.”

Celebrations acknowledge what people know and do not know. Celebrate what they do by asking them about it, celebrate what they don’t by asking them how they got there and putting them in groups where they can.
Everyone shares.

“But all of you are likely spending more time than you realize selling
in a broader sense—pitching colleagues, persuading funders,
cajoling kids. Like it or not, we’re all in sales now.” Dan Pink

Success: Collaboration Tools
Monday, March 25, 13
Fail: Collaboration
1.Bring clarity among staff (and then students) about HC's meaning of "collaboration." Have guided dialog to expose the varied definitions of collaboration that are present among staff. Work toward a common definition and provide distinction from "sharing."
2.Bring clarity among staff (students) on the value of collaboration.
3.Grade/content teams review on current assignments to see if they are "collaborative" as defined and make plans to enrich as needed.

Everyone leads.

starting over when something fails, building or refining when he gets new ideas, and offering
feedback to his peers on a regular basis.” Will Richardson
