Getting Unstuck #189: Creating the Right Environment for Shared Leadership
“One of the things that I have have been really interested in is the perception on the part of students who feel they should have a voice in this class or in the school. There’s an expressed need to feel that they belong. And I think these two ideas are severely overlooked when we’re talking about the world from a leader lens, like strategic planning, or improvement goals. Often we look at the academic data, but we’re not looking at things like how students are experiencing the class in the school.”
