Before we dive too deeply into our work together this year and the training we have planned for today, I wanted to share a few norms and expectations to maximize the experience for everyone in the room.
We recognize that our time together is limited, and so we have planned to accomplish a great deal in the time we do have. We will provide breaks during the training and ask that you return on time, so we can start—and end--on time.
We know that you are pulled in a million directions, and thanks to technology, are never too far out of reach from anyone. We understand if you have to take an emergency call, and if so, please step outside as to not disrupt your peers. Otherwise, we aim for today to be low on tech, but very high on your engagement and participation. We have structured today’s learning to be interactive and know from experience that what you put into today will pay dividends for your own professional growth.
We will ask for your feedback and thoughts throughout the day, including a feedback form at the end of the session that we take very seriously. So please let us know how we are doing. Similarly, we may provide you with feedback and we hope you are open and able to work with us to grow your skill as a school leader.
Next, we will try to always assume the best and hope you do the same for us. We all are here to support the students of Cleveland and so even if we disagree at some points today, we know that everyone in this room has the best intentions for our schools and students.
In that same vein, we are proud to be CMSD and want everyone in the room today to think about our collective impact, and the power and responsibility we have to support thousands of teachers and tens of thousands of students.
Lastly, we are fortunate to be in this space today, and ask that you treat it well and leave it cleaner than we found it.
Throughout today’s session, we will bounce between partner work at your tables, discussions amongst the entire group, and presenting information from the front of the room. To gather everyone’s attention, I will raise my hand. When you see my hand raised, please also raise yours and finish your conversation. This will help everyone see that we are coming back together quickly.
