Transparency Rules
Motion Leadership Chapter 7
Trusting Transparency requires four main components
- Deprivatization of Practice
- Strategy for Improvement
- Take Risks
- Assessment Literate
Deprivatization of Practice
This requires an openness of our practice as educators. The history of teaching has been built on the individual professional autonomy of the teacher. Our stakeholders demand greater transparency than ever and if we are to thrive it is necessary to change our practice to open ourselves to invite inquiry, conversation, and collaborative analysis of these practices.
Strategy for Improvement
This develops the aim and the target. You cannot get system reform without knowing what is being accomplished and who is getting success. There is a strong relationship between transparency and nonjudgmentalism.
Take Risks
Motion leaders are prepared to pay the price in order to gain the results.
Assessment Literate
Evaluating Data so we will know-
How: Did we do last year?
When: Will we get there?
Where: We are now and where should we be.
Transparency fosters culture change to a system to create positive change.
Practicing transparency is a risk taking proposition no question. But if done well and persistently the gain far outweighs the costs.
