Bailey, Gerald D.; Ross, Tweed; Bailey, Gwen L.; Lumley, Dan
Using teams is an effective way to meet the challenges of breaking down teacher isolation, halting curriculum fragmentation, and creating a learning organization. This guide is designed to help school leaders train groups to become teams, guide them to become high-performance teams, and empower them to become technology-based teams. It contains practical exercises and techniques that have been field-tested by hundreds of practitioners, whose suggestions have been incorporated to make the exercises meaningful for future users. Section 1 presents information and advice on getting teams started, including background information, why one should become a team member, setting agendas, acquiring basic team skills, building unity among team members, making team decisions, dealing with strife in a team environment, and coaching teams. Section 2 focuses on high-performance teams, describing their characteristics, building unity among members, dealing with strife, evaluating team effectiveness, and coaching teams. Section 3 presents technology-based teams, managing different levels of technological expertise, presenting background information, experimenting with technology-based teaming skills, decision-making, dealing with strife, and coaching teams. Each section concludes with a list of suggested readings. (Contains 63 references.) (RT)
