Summer and winter retreats and professional learning were provided for my principals, assistant principals, assistant superintendents, and directors focused on team building, relationship development, value-based discussions, and district strategic plan goal setting. The “overarching goal” for each retreat was to create a common administrative vision for centering all actions on the strategic plan and shift the district from an adult-centric mindset to a student-centered mindset for improving student outcomes. The coaching provided was focused on developing deeper leadership capacity to exercise positive and effective individual executive leadership and administrative group leadership. The retreats resulted in facilitating shared leadership for the schools to better support all students with the goal of closing achievement gaps. As a result of the leadership retreats, district administrators were empowered to better understand individual and group roles in implementing the district vision, mission, and goals of the strategic plan while gaining strategies for better supporting staff.
