Reform Continued...

Qualities of Productive Work Environments

When the followin characteristics of a work envirionment that seem to have a great affect are:

1. Clear Mission

2. Stimulating professional development

3.Supportive Administrative Leadership

4.Professional Culture

5. The Opportunity to use talent's and skills

6.Adequate time to perform duties

7. Adequate supply of Materials and equipment

(Seyfarth, 2008, .186)

Strategy to Refocus

  • Reevaluate the IMPACT with teacher input
  • Use more of the Human Resource Frame, make the employees feel empowered, "progressive organizations give power to employees as well as invest in their development" (Bolman & Deal, 2013, p. 147)
  • Have more trainings to help teachers develop their teaching toward the standards
  • Use Senge's Organizational Theory: 1) Shared Vision-More teacher input & collaboraton with administration & the chancellor. 2) Team Learning- More collaboration between the teachers.
  • Kotter's Theory's of Learning 1) Build the team 2) Create the Vision 3) Institutionalize the Vision
  • My role will be to continue to empower my colleagues and voice my concerns to administration
  • Insist on more ELL teachers to help with the culture balance

The Balcony cont...

My Change Plan

Max Webers Bureaucracy is the current theory used in D.C.

1.Management by rules

Controlling by rules allows decisions made at high levels to be executed consistently by all lower levels.

2.Purposely impersonal

The idea is to treat all employees equally and customers equally, and not be influenced by individual differences.

3.An "up-focused" or "in-focused" mission

the organization's purpose is to serve the stockholders, the board, or whatever agency empowered it.

"On the Balcony"

King inherited the stress and pressure of bringing a school back to the hope it was built upon. He had to start over, reevaluate, rehire, and rethink. He was in a school that was run with the structural approach, which was not working, and turned it around by using more of the human resource frame.

The frame that exist the most in DC is the political approach. "The political frame stresses that the combination of scare resources and divergent interests produces conflict" (Bolman & Deal, 2013, p. 201). The control of DC schools was controlled by a Board, however the control was completely turned over to the Mayor.

What is blocking the road?

Environmental Forces

-low student test scores

-teacher accountability

-diminish stereotypes of the worst school district

Strategic Imperatives

-A system in which the employees were not Highly Effective teachers

Organizational Imperatives

-Decreasing enrollment (which steadily declined for five years)

Cultural Imperatives

-DC has the highest population of El Salvadorians in the US

Leader & Employee Behavior

- Principals had limited power due to tenured

Mindset of Teachers

-"I cannot be fired"

Who and Why was this created?

  • It was created by Michelle Rhee, Kaya Henderson & Jason Kamaras
  • It was created to "weed" out those who were not teaching, and just collecting a check.
  • It wasn't forced, and teachers had to vote on it, (which I voted against) becuase it was tied to our raise.
  • Teacher Tenure was taken away
  • No more raises, only COL, and merit performance pay

What caused a bump in the road?

The D.C. school system implemented a new evaluation system, titled IMPACT.
