Committed LEADERSHIP actions The challenge of change leadership is to create

a system for continuous improvement of

teachers/ lesson and supervision rooted in acommon vision of performance standardsstudents must meet [ICC].

COLLABORATION!

Teachers working alone, with little or no

feedback on the quality of their lessons, will notbe able to improve significantly- no matter howmuch professional development they receive.

The need to review,

reflect, and discussintroduces students tothe concept of beingcritics. Students areused to being the oneswhose work isreviewed andcorrected. Reviewing

work is a complextask; students mustanalyze a piece ofwriting, evaluate its

strengths andweaknesses, thenpredict how it would

be different if changeswere made.
