Teacher Voice
Teachers have the opportunity to provide feedback to administration through the Instructional Leadership Council (ILC). Through informed decision-making, effective communication, and by providing faculty voice they are able to guide the future development of the school and meet the needs of staff and students.
In addition to the ILCs in each of our schools, there are an infinite number of ways that teacher voice helps inform the direction of the school.
Professional Development
School leaders respect teachers and other staff members as creative agents in their classrooms and as professionals continually seeking to improve their craft. Â Our model supports leaders to demonstrate a growth mindset and a commitment to continuous professional learning in themselves and all faculty members. Â
Instructional coaches partner with teachers to help them improve teaching and learning to improve student learning outcomes. Instructional Coaches conduct coaching cycles where they collaborate with teachers to get a clear picture of current reality, identify goals, pick teaching strategies to meet the goals, monitor progress, and problem solve until the goals are met.
Teacher Leadership
At Tapestry, leadership is a collaborative, dynamic effort toward a common vision for teaching and learning. Â Thus, in addition to creating the conditions for all staff to learn, school leaders create the conditions for all staff to lead. Â Leaders articulate and uphold clear decision-making processes, as well as roles and responsibilities for decisions that impact the learning community. Â We strategically build the leadership capacity of others and set up structures for staff and other members of the school community to take responsibility for school improvement efforts and empower these individuals to lead the work.
