DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP CAPACITY: PARTICIPATION FEEDBACK

We are in the second year of working together as an administrative team to align our work as a School District with our Mission, Core Values and Strategic Directions. As administrators of the School District we are working diligently to deliver on our vision to achieve excellence in teaching, learning and engagement assuring success for all of our students.

To assist us in developing our capacity as a leadership team we are seeking feedback from all staff members to assist us in goal setting and planning our work toward continuous improvement. As staff members, your perspective and feedback is critical to our ability to reach our vision. We began our district wide feedback process last spring by gathering information from all administrators regarding my performance as Superintendent. I used that feedback to set my goals for this school year. Next, we will be gathering feedback regarding the performance of executive directors and building administrators.

We invite you to participate in an all staff meeting in your building in the coming months where you will be invited to develop constructive feedback regarding the performance of your administrator(s). The meeting will be focused and facilitated by the Executive Director of Human Resources. Your feedback will be used by the Superintendent and your administrator(s) to guide their administrative growth and development.

We will begin meeting with staff in all buildings beginning in January. Please look for information from your administrator regarding the date and time of your feedback session. Your administrators will be selecting a time before or after school that will allow as many staff members as possible to attend. This is a voluntary process, but I strongly encourage you to attend and share your perspective. I would like to thank you in advance for your time and participation in this process.
