The processes by which school leaders can institutionalize staff and organizational development, with a focus on initiating school restructuring through team development, are described. Three features are necessary for implementing school restructuring through team development: a deliberate plan for staff involvement, a positive work environment, and collegiality. Nine factors of team development are briefly described and a plan of action is presented. A conclusion is that collaboration between faculty and staff to implement a governance system and organizational/staff development programs will most likely result in increased individual ownership and focus on long-term goals. A school effectiveness critique is included. (4 references) (LMI)
