Hold administrators accountable for a positive work-site culture.
|
|
|
|
|
Track staff turnover in the district, and at individual sites, and use that information to focus on retention strategies for every employee group.
|
|
|
|
|
Demand accountability for each and every APS department to have a service-to-schools (and employees) orientation, provide timely and accurate responses, and are respectful in their interactions.
|
|
|
|
|
Improve communication between district departments and improve the communication flow from district administration to practitioners and vice versa.
|
|
|
|
|
Ensure that there is a pervasive customer (i.e. employee) service orientation in each department and department personnel have an attitude that central office is there to support schools, not the other way around.
|
|
|
|
|
Support strong, site-based shared leadership, the creation of innovative schooling models, and teacher autonomy to use innovative methods and materials to engage students.
|
|
|
|
|
Address workload issues. (For some time, educators have described their workload as “unmanageable.” Many teachers report frustration about tasks that do not directly inform teaching and learning or improve outcomes for children.)
