Protocols for Instructional Leadership — a written guide for each visit and meeting a new way of leading depends on, so a leader knows what to do and say in it.
You keep putting out fires that shouldn’t exist if your managers were doing their jobs. Everyone is trying hard, and your leaders have been through the training. You still aren’t seeing it in the results.
At Saint Martin Parish Schools, an 888-employee school district, the teams doing the work weren’t using a new curriculum the way it was meant to be used. Their leaders didn’t have the time, the skills or a set way to support them.
The district’s leaders developed a step-by-step guide for each visit and meeting, with my support. You’ll get five of those protocols in their own words, and how to read them outside education.
