Expectations

Coaches are retired administrators committed to helping you and your school be successful. A coach will be assigned to work with you and your school; however, based upon the needs of your school, other coaches may be brought in to work with you as well. The vision is that all coaches and schools will develop strong relationships. Upon a coach’s visit, the principal and DL team will develop a rationale and expected outcomes for the visit, and the coach in turn will provide feedback and support to the school. If there are any questions or concerns regarding coaches, you should contact Sharon Brittingham at 302-855-1628 or sharonbr@udel.edu

· At each Distributed Leadership Group Meeting, at least 1 administrator will attend with at least 3-4 staff members. We encourage you to bring more if possible, with ten being the maximum. · Team members at scheduled trainings should be consistent. Those attending the trainings should educate other team members who miss the training and bring them up to date. · Schools are to complete the WWIS’s survey between August 25, 2007, and June 30, 2008. · By November 1, through the survey or team meetings, schools must select a focus or goal (one or 2 at the most). Send to Shannon Wilson at shannonw@udel.edu · Team members are expected to go back to their schools and work with staff in a leadership position. · Administrators and school teams are to work with the coaches to arrange focused site visits. · Teams are expected to use the time after the training to develop plans for back at the school. · Money awarded to the school may be used for substitute money for team members to attend the trainings, and books/materials for staff that coincide with the distributed leadership goals for the year. Any money not used for the above stated purpose, will revert back to the Delaware Academy for School Leadership Wallace Grant.
