OUR WORK IS COMPLEX
A test score is not a synonym for what a student has learned or a school has
accomplished.

Leadership: the ability to guide others
confidently through a sea of uncertainty and confusion by creating an atmosphere that
promotes innovative practices.

Analysis• Interpreting the We Lead – Whole Staff Survey results is a
process, not an event.• Critical analysis is important to develop actions to verify
the findings of the survey. • Comparisons between indicators (e.g., comparing
empowerment questions to instructional leadership questions) are often instructive.
• Ongoing conversation among colleagues provides the best way to gain a deeper understanding of the data.
• Perceptions of the same data may differ. This is a healthy starting point for dialogue and growth.
• The purpose of this entire effort is to improve teaching and learning in the school.

These are BASELINE numbers.
They represent a starting point.
The fundamental step has already been taken:Having the courage to ask staff what they think
and feel about school leadership.
