Enrolling
Stakeholders.
Schools
need the support and involvement of the staff, the families and the community
they serve in order to effectively improve student achievement. School
councils can more effectively fulfill their function if they work in an
inclusive manner, structure their meetings and procedures to empower all members
of the school council and practice the principals of shared
decision-making. It is essential of all members of the school council be
"enrolled" in the concept and purpose of shared decision-making in
order to provide active representation of their constituency.
Effective
school councils encourage participation of all stakeholders by:
-
Providing
clear and well-publicized information inviting stakeholders to participate
in decision making.
-
Providing
adequate training in areas such as curriculum, budget and initiatives.
-
Maintaining
parity between parents and teaching staff.
-
Providing
important information regarding school jargon, school policies, practices
and student performance data.
-
Ensuring
that all stakeholders have an opportunity for input when planning for school
improvement.
-
Treating
concerns with respect and actively seeking resolutions to problems.
-
Educating
parents and the community about the roles and responsibilities of school
committees, superintendents, principals and school councils.
-
Encouraging
stakeholders to act responsibly as advocates for quality education for all
students.
-
Promoting
participation at the school, district, state and national levels to address
issues that impact student achievement.
-
Providing
training to stakeholders to help them work as effective partners.
