The Challenge: Ensuring Alignment in a Learning Community

The Challenge: Ensuring Alignment in a Learning Community - "It is not enough to gain agreement on values, core beliefs and the teaching framework and stop there, if a true sense of community is to be embedded as part of the school's culture. All in leadership roles, from the principal to each classroom teacher, must constantly make expectations clear and all must ask themselves, 'to what extent do current practices match our vision'? Any discrepancies noted requires a response to action improvement if the school is to become a self-renewing community. Only if everyone works together will the school mission be realised. This is no easy task for many of us who are more inclined to work in isolation."
