The Together Leader: AP Book Study
AP's are asked to read Chapters 3-5 by October 9 and Chapters 6-8 for November 13. In order to be prepared to discuss the readings at the October AP meeting, please consider the following:
- When and how will you monitor progress toward your organization or team goals?
- What are your priorities over the next three months?
- How will a Meeting Matrix help you better align your time with your priorities?

Feedback Forms
- Evidence-based feedback
- Open-ended, non-judgmental reflective questions
Some of you have asked for a sample list of reflective questions. I told you I wouldn't provide you that list because we need to work together to build our own skills in this area. However, in our discussions, many of you have come to realize that these two starters can lead you to open-ended, non-judgmental reflective questions. This beginning presumes positive intention and allows a teacher to describe his or her practice to you when answering (or thinking about) your reflective question.
- How do you ...
- In what ways do you...
Many leaders would like to see examples of what other sites are using for a feedback form. If your site has a feedback form (in any format/style) that you and your principal are willing to share, please email me the form or a link to the form.
