It is formed by repeated practice—using every minute of every day to build good habits. From opening morning routines to the final bell, students receive a constant message that nothing is as important—and engaging—as learning.”\nSantoyo, P., & Peiser, B. M. (2012). Leverage leadership: a practical guide to building exceptional schools. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass.  Retrieved from \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://uncommonschools.org/node/2186\" \u0014http://uncommonschools.org/node/2186\u0015.\nStep 1:\nDetermine all of the standing duties and office hours that you will be responsible for. Consider other times that your presence may be needed (morning arrival, transition times, etc.).  Remember, if it is not you, indicate who it will be.\nStep 2:\nDetermine all of the standing group meetings that you will be responsible for leading or attending.\nTIPS:\nArrival, dismissal, passing times, recess, and lunch are excellent times to collect data on and help establish a strong school culture. Being visible and modeling your expectations is imperative!\nEstablishing standing office hours helps protect your time and sends a strong message that you value parents and students.\n\u000f\nCulture and Leadership (Chart A)\nStep 3:\nDetermine the teachers you will observe and provide feedback to, and those you will delegate to others. Remember, this is ongoing observation and feedback for growth.\nTIPS:\nWith a 15:1 ratio, all teachers can be observed and receive feedback weekly. Decide if you want weekly or bi-weekly observations.\nConsider all formal and informal instructional leaders (assistant principals, coaches, coordinators, lead teachers), depending on your school size and needs.\nConsider each leader’s strengths, areas of expertise and instructional load.\nObservation and Feedback: Ongoing / Formative (Chart B)\nStep 4:\nDetermine blocks of time for your big projects and for communication.\nTIPS:\nPlan for no more than 2-5 hours of “big project” work time per week. Use your monthly map to know what you need to plug into each of those blocks.\nSchedule time to check and answer emails and return calls before or after school.\nChecking email periodically throughout the day is a surefire way to get distracted from your priorities.\nPlanning Your Week:  Putting It All Together\nBuild Your Week:\nStart with a template (Excel) or electronic calendar application, so that once your week is built out you can use the same template each week as a starting point, then make changes accordingly.\nFirst, add all of your duties and office hours (see Chart A).\nNext, add all of your standing whole group meetings (see Chart A).\n\u000f\nThen, for every teacher you will observe, schedule in 15 minutes of observation time \u000b(see Chart B).\nYou can observe three teachers in one hour, allowing yourself travel time. If your campus is small, you may be able to observe four. Consider what you know about yourself and how you prefer to work.\nIf you are observing teachers once every two weeks, you will only need to block out half the number of blocks per week (e.g., you are managing 16 teachers, therefore you should schedule eight (8) fifteen-minute blocks per week).\nYou may consider observing teachers in similar grade levels, content areas, or those working on similar goals in the same block.\nYou may not want to label who you are observing in each of these blocks on your original template as you will certainly want to observe teachers at different times during their day.\nUsing each teacher’s available prep time as a guide, decide when you will schedule your 30-minute standing meeting wit","cbCaio0htL0TPQU7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio0htL0TPQU7","docx",212511,"English","# Goals\n## Focus areas: culture, instruction, leadership\n# Prep Work\n## Standing duties and office hours\n## Standing group meetings\n## Observation and feedback schedule\n# Putting It All Together\n## Build your week template\n## Observation blocks and standing meetings\n## Big project and communication blocks","[{\"question\":\"How should a weekly schedule prioritize high-leverage leadership practices?\",\"answer\":\"The schedule should prioritize cultivating school culture, improving instruction through observation, feedback, PD, and coaching, and developing leadership.
