Secondary You Are A School Principal In A 9-12 Grade High School. In Preparation For

Secondary You are a school principal in a 9-12 grade high school
In preparation for a meeting with your ELA department chair, Mr
Wong, you have been analyzing the students ELA performance data
Including Mr
Wong, your school has eight ELA teachers
For seven of the ELA teachers, 70% or more of their students are demonstrating good to exceptional outcomes on their writing benchmark data
Four of the teachers have historically yielded student scores with above average state standardized test results in comparison to schools in your district with similar demographics
In previous discussions, Mr
Wong has cited the teachers efforts to plan together utilizing the pacing guide, core program, and assessment results as the primary reasons for their students positive outcomes
One teacher, however, Mr
Blumenstock, has been identified as an outlier by the districts assessment coordinator, relative to the results of his students, compared to the other two teachers
Additionally, you have observed evidence that suggests Mr
Blumenstock is behind on the pacing guide compared to his colleagues
You also have anecdotal information that he does not engage with his teammates during scheduled content team meetings, which leads you to believe that he is not making an effort to plan with them outside the scheduled meetings
In 750-1,000 words, analyze your chosen case using the three-part guiding questions below
Part 1: Analyze the Case Consider the following questions to begin analyzing the situation: What do you consider the responsibility of the team lead/department chair in assisting the outlier teacher? What stakeholders should be included in the conversation relative to next steps? Are these individual conversations or a group discussion or both? What questions should be considered when making a determination about next steps? Part 2: Identify the Larger Issues Consider the following questions to analyze the contextual issues present in the situation: What school or district policies might affect your decisions? What additional information do you need as part of your decision-making process? What are the potentially positive and negative outcomes of doing nothing?  What are the potentially positive and negative outcomes of taking action?  Part 3: Create an Action Plan Use the following questions to guide you in describing what approach you will take to assist the team lead/department chair to help the outlier teacher, including 3-5 specific action steps: What is your plan moving forward? How does your plan sustain a culture of collaboration, trust, learning, and high expectations? How will you include the critical stakeholders in the decision-making process? What challenges do you anticipate? How will you provide ongoing support to your team lead/department chair? How will you evaluate the results of your teacher leaders efforts? What does the timeline look like? Support your analysis and plan with 2-3 scholarly resources
