Vision: Somewhere over the rainbow…

Reflect: What is the difference between the

current and new evaluation systems?

Dr. Marci Shepard Orting School District 1.14.13

We’re not in Kansas a 2-tiered

system anymore…

Remember: As leaders, we are keepers of the purpose and vision. Dorothy

fully engages the adventures, friendships, and dangers she encounters in

Oz, but she is never deterred from her purpose of finding her way home.

How do you keep yourself and your team focused on that purpose?

Sharing Evaluation Practices

Share process and artifacts – goal setting, pre-

conference, post-conference

Share observation write-ups

○ Response to performance

Heart…

Knowledge…

Courage…

Dr. Marci Shepard Orting School District 1.14.13

Lion: I'd be brave as a

blizzard

Tin Man: I'd be gentle as a

lizard

Scarecrow: I'd be clever as

a gizzard

Dorothy: If the Wizard is a

wizard who will SERVE

Remember: Each member had a different reason for wanting to go to

Oz, but the destination was the same. Great causes must

accommodate individual purposes. Effective leaders seek to

understand the personal needs and motivations of followers, and help

to align individual purposes with the higher purpose of the organization.

Dr. Marci Shepard Orting School District 1.14.13

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…

Read “Vulnerability and

Inspired Leadership”

Required observations (WAC)

Additional observations (type, frequency, duration)

Visibility Transparency Vulnerability

Remember: The Wizard projects an image evoke, fear, awe, and respect,

but he is able to provide genuine help only after he is engaged as a real

person. It is in authentically connecting to other people that real leadership

magic begins.

”Observe” or “Observation” means the

gathering of evidence made through

classroom or worksite visits for the

purpose of examining evidence over time

against the instructional or leadership

framework rubrics pursuant to WAC 392-

191-003 (8,9,11).

Dr. Marci Shepard Orting School District 1.14.13

I can’t run anymore. I’m so tired…

Reflect: How are we spending our time?

What practices might we need to think about in new ways?

What resources might we need?

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Identify obstacles

Remember: In his book Good to Great, Jim Collins says “The good-to-great

companies faced just as much adversity as the comparison companies, but

responded to that adversity differently. They hit the realities of their situation head-

on. As a result, they emerged from adversity even stronger.”

The journey is safer and more productive traveling together, and ultimately the

Scarecrow, Tin-Man, Lion and Dorothy become a powerful team that overcomes

their obstacles and creates a better future for Oz.

Transition plan:

Follow the yellow brick road

Two possible

models – input

3-year

transition plans

Remember: Leadership is much more than telling people to go

down the yellow brick road. It’s about authentically engaging them

in the adventure. (And be sure to sing and skip through the

journey!) Dr. Marci Shepard Orting School District 1.14.13

Remember…

It’s all for our munchkins!

Dr. Marci Shepard Orting School District 1.14.13

Make connections between our work,

the Wizard of Oz analogy and

the song “Home.”

There’s no place like home…

Hold on to me as we go As we roll down this unfamiliar road…
