Don Tapscott Topic two Leading change


Collaboration
Collaborate with staff, identify strength of teachers that may think differently, do things differently. Provide the school with a library of open fluid information supported by staff that are passionate about making a positive change and keeping up with change and technology
Transparency
As Don mention, be naked, not only with information but processes, morals and ethics. Allow staff, students and community to see what the school library is about, its goals, policies, methodologies to build trust. This trust can also affect the following.
Sharing
With this built and proven trust teachers may be more forthcoming with effective strategies, program and resources. Be more willing to put themselves on the stage without fear of reticule but be open to constructive criticism for the betterment of education, personal development and student learning.
Empowerment
Empower staff and students with knowledge. Educate that knowledge is power and distributed knowledge is empowering that can lead to combined efforts with no single leader but many to work together to reach aims and goals in education and life. Students can see that teachers are there to help and staff can develop the mindset that not only are they helping students reach education goals but they are assisting in developing a person ready to contribute to their community through their newfound knowledge.
