Educators know that teachers are a school's most essential strength. In Building Teachers' Capacity for Success, authors Pete Hall (winner of the 2004 ASCD Outstanding Young Educator Award) and Alisa Simeral offer a straightforward plan to help site-based administrators and instructional coaches collaborate to bring out the best in every teacher, build a stronger and more cohesive staff, and achieve greater academic success. Their model of Strength-Based School Improvement is an alternative to a negative, "deficit approach" focused on fixing what's wrong. Instead, they show administrators, coaches, and teachers how to achieve their goals by working together to maximize what's right.

"Classrooms today are so diverse that it cannot go unnoticed. Diversity ranging from academic levels, religion, culture, etc. The focus for this thesis is how to create a collaborative environment with parents of students from different cultures. Collaboration between parents and teachers has been proven to provide student success. This is the same for all students. Collaboration is especially important for parents of children with special needs. Schools are required to ensure equity and inclusion. Equity and inclusion means “every learner matters and matters equally”. Parent and teacher collaboration helps this agenda. However, in order for parents and teachers to work together to support school success, they need to be able to understand each other and to communicate well. For many teachers, this is a challenge. One of the challenges is that the United States has become more culturally diverse. There are immigrants from different cultural backgrounds and languages. In order to ensure equity and inclusion, teachers are encouraged to strengthen their cultural understanding so that they can work with different students and be able to collaborate with parents for their children’s education. Children with special needs benefit more with parents and teachers working more closely. In Minnesota, equity and inclusion are highly promoted and supported, and there is a new grant for school districts for this purpose. District 196 is one of the school districts that received such a grant. The district has been developing a work plan which includes how to work with student from families of different cultures especially now that there are many immigrants moving south of the river to cities like Eagan, Burnsville, and Apple Valley. District 196 has already engaged community cultural workers. Trainings are also being developed. As a teacher and a parent with children including a special needs student, this writer wants to contribute to the training of teachers in working specifically with Africans. This paper includes the importance of teacher and parent collaboration, and the barriers to collaboration such as cultural differences. The writer has developed a half day curriculum. The curriculum includes creating a common vision for cross-cultural understanding by teachers, creating commitment, and developing strategies that would enable the teachers to collaborate more effectively with parents from other cultures. The focus is on working with African families. The curriculum will involve developing strategies and ways of making necessary changes."--Leaves 4-5.

The "MetLife Survey of the American Teacher: Collaborating for Student Success" (2009) examines the views of teachers, principals and students about respective roles and responsibilities, current practice and priorities for the future. The results are based on a national survey of 1,003 K-12 public school teachers, 500 K-12 public school principals and 1,018 public school students in grades 3-12 conducted in Fall, 2009. In addition, public school principals and teachers, as well as thought leaders in education participated in an online strategy session. The Survey findings are being released as a series during the first quarter of 2010 in three parts. The present report (Part 1) examines views about responsibility and accountability, what collaboration looks like in schools, and if and to what degree collaboration is currently practiced. Public school teachers and principals share a belief in the relationship between student success and collaborative school environments that emphasize a sense of responsibility for teachers, the principal and students themselves. This report builds upon past findings, examining how collaborative teaching and leadership is practiced in schools today and its implications for collegiality, job satisfaction, teacher retention, instruction and student academic achievement. Among the major findings are that two-thirds of teachers (67%) and three-quarters of principals (78%) think that greater collaboration among teachers and school leaders would have a major impact on improving student achievement. Results of The "MetLife Survey of the American Teacher" provide evidence that some schools, principals, teachers and students have a greater commitment to working together more effectively to improve the quality of teaching, learning and leadership school-wide. It is important for their responses to be considered as school, district, state and national leaders examine the intersection of research, policy and practice to determine the best uses of limited resources, potential levers for change, and the increasingly urgent need to better prepare all students for future success.

Lately, our nation’s strategy for improving our schools is mostly limited to “getting tough” with teachers. Blaming teachers for poor outcomes, we spend almost all of our energy trying to control teachers’ behavior and school operations. But what if all of this is exactly the opposite of what is needed? What if teachers are the answer and not the problem? What if trusting teachers, and not controlling them, is the key to school success? Examining the experiences of teachers who are already trusted to call the shots, this book answers: What would teachers do if they had the autonomy not just to make classroom decisions, but to collectively—with their colleagues—make the decisions influencing whole school success? Decisions such as school curriculum, how to allocate the school budget, and whom to hire. Teachers with decision-making authority create the schools that many of us profess to want. They individualize learning. Their students are active (not passive) learners who gain academic and life skills. The teachers create school cultures that are the same as those in high-performing organizations. They accept accountability and innovate, and make efficient use of resources. These promising results suggest: it’s time to trust teachers.

Teacher leadership holds great promise for improving the quality of teaching and ensuring student success. But for co-performance of leadership to be effective, teachers and principals need to lead in sync.Leadership coach Jill Harrison Berg guides educators through the process of creating a shared vision for student success and effective teaching, developing a mutual understanding of each person's role in achieving that vision, establishing a schoolwide culture of teacher leadership, and building the trust needed to bring it all together. Leading In Sync: Teacher Leaders and Principals Working Together for Student Learning provides principals, assistant principals, coaches, department leaders, grade-level and content team leaders, mentors, professional development leaders, and in fact all teachers with the strategies and tools needed to: * Examine their own thinking about what constitutes quality teaching. * Tap faculty members who are already leading. * Identify who has the knowledge, skills, and dispositions required for particular leadership roles. * Support leadership collaboration through efficient, effective communication. * Develop trust within the school community. Berg offers thought-provoking context and reflection questions so that educators can examine their own unique settings; real-world examples of teachers and principals co-performing leadership to improve student success; and dozens of strategies, tools, and templates to facilitate leading in sync.
