I did something different yesterday that resulted in a what I consider a very positive result.
Yesterday, when I (with the principal hat on) had to have a conversation with a couple of teachers, I pulled in their Coach from our Intstructional Team to serve as a support for them. What I was asking for was changes in practice. By utilizing the coaches as support, each teacher had a resource to coach them through the changes, and to have as a confidante to deal with the human side of change. The outcome was nonnegotiable, but it felt much more palatable and possible with the coach for each teacher available and involved. It was kind of like when we pull in a student's advocate to help when we are dealing with student issues.
I will be trying it again on Monday with a different situation. I will let you know if the results are as positive.
