Transforming schools requires the expertise and engagement of every educator. Teachers and administrators need support to work as an aligned team. Teams must be inclusive of all roles and perspectives to successfully focus on shared responsibility for identifying challenges, setting goals, and doing the work of school-wide transformation and continuous improvement.

CTQ’s collective leadership approach begins with clearly articulating the value of bigger circles of leaders that bring a needed diversity of perspectives. As schools and systems identify individual educators’ strengths, develop cross-functional teams that leverage those strengths, and build processes to transform teaching and learning, ALL students and educators are more likely to benefit from their work.
