Are you a school leader looking to move from "busy" meetings to "impactful" collaboration? In this episode of Leading Collaborative Response, we sit down with Paul Kelly, Principal of Weledeh School. Paul shares the blueprint for their methodical rollout of the Collaborative Response framework, emphasizing why leadership preparation is the key to staff buy-in.
In this conversation, you’ll hear about:
➡️ The Power of Pre-Planning: Why Weledeh spent a full semester planning before introducing the model to staff.
➡️ Protecting Professional Time: Strategies for using student-free afternoons to drive instructional practice and student support.
➡️ A Practical Approach: Moving through the Collaborative Response journey in a way that feels manageable and sustainable for teachers.
This episode is a "must-listen" for principals and assistant principals who want to ensure their collaborative structures are built to last.
