3-5-12 Hey everyone! After monday night's class some of us met and discussed that a problem would be posted so we could start responding to it. I have looked on everyone's pages, but can't seem to find the problem. Does anyone have an idea? I know that all of us are very busy, but I suggest that we start meeting after class from 7:30 till 8:00. It seems like it would be the easiest solution for all of us. Each time we meet one person will be the "leader" and another can be the "recorder". Please let me know what you all think. ~Lindsay

2-27-12 We had a meeting. I was the leader, Mark Rosenbalm was the recorder. We discussed some ideas and questions.

Monday Feb. 20, 2012-Hey everyone. I didn't get a chance to post after Monday's class because of the 2nd job I work. This is my first half day off. Anyway on Monday night I (Lindsay) met with Jonas and Mark for 30mins. I led the discussion pertaining to the questions that Jonas and Mark had posted. To be honest both of them acted as recorders. We had a wonderful discussion but would like to wait on posting until we can meet with our entire group this coming Monday night. ~Lindsay

I am concerned that you all are planning the writing before each individual has posted their sources with a short summary???? Dr. Rea

We will need to meet very soon!

You should have met three at least two or more times??? Dr. Rea

Hickory Ridge High School has struggled meeting the needs of students over the past several years even though faculty, parents, and business partners have tried implementing various reform initiatives. The staff feels as though their reform efforts are not realizing success and there are mounting problems between the more experienced teachers and the growing number of younger teachers. Overall the problem is a poisonous culture with a lack of respect, collegiality, and trust which has developed amongst the staff at Hickory Ridge High School. wrote that organizational culture is a body of solutions to problems that have worked for a group and are taught to new members as the correct way to behave. In the case of Hickory Ridge the culture is not producing successful solutions to problems. This climate has created a barrier to reform efforts within the school which has resulted in conflict between those wanting reform and those wanting to maintain the status quo. Additionally, many teachers and particularly the new ones do not respect Principal Jim O’Connor which furthers the problem.

How can we change the climate and culture of the school to help students and teachers be more successful?

Your question is approved. Let's keep the meetings on this page. Now you have your question you need to address each issue. Mark has started. Divide up the issues and do some reading in peer reviewed research. For example: You wrote PLCs. Does the research say that is the only.....best way to get teachers to work together or is that how you do it in your school? Are there other ways. That is only one part of addressing the problems. As the leader you need to do all that you can.

Hi All, Are you still OK with next Monday at 3:00-5:00? I have a good start. Thanks, Colleen

Hey guys, Yes, I will be there on Monday around 3:30 to meet. I am working on my part.

Hi, If anybody has time take a look at the abstract i put on my page. Maybe we can use some of these ideas. Thanks, Colleen

Hi Everyone, I hope to meet you on Monday at 3:00, I just finished the pp. Is any body using the WIKI ? I am going to post my pp on Angel because it is to big for the Wiki. Thanks, Colleen
