BUILD A STRONG RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR STAFF

BECAUSE
Teachers are the students number 1 access to academic success
They are a source of information on how students are performing
Teachers know about the students emotional welfare and safety
Teachers will provide information as to where the curricula are
lacking or failing and ideas where new curricula, strategies and
resources are needed
Teachers help with time consuming tasks of leading the school,
forming committees, attending meetings, & public relations
Teachers will boost morale of students and other staff members
Teachers lead and support your leadership
BOTTOM LINE

WITHOUT TEACHER SUPPORT, YOUR JOB WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE


TO PERFORM
THE BEST WAY TO SUPPORT YOUR TEACHERS & STAFF IS TO LET THEM
KNOW YOU RESPECT THEIR POSITIONS.
PROVE TO THEM THAT YOU WILL BE THERE WHEN THEY NEED YOU, &
YOU TAKE THEIR INPUT SERIOUSLY. THIS BUILDS CONFIDENCE IN YOU
AS THEIR LEADER
TO ASSURE YOUR NEW STAFF THAT YOU ARE A
STRONG INSTRUCTIONAL LEADER
1. Talk to them one -on-one & let them know you value their
position and opinions.
2. Ask for their ideas, thoughts, and opinions on anything they feel
needs to be noticed, rectified, or changed. What are their
expectations of you?
3. Share your past experiences as a teacher and leader; let them
know your expectations of student achievement, school
procedures, & teaching for you
4. Let them know that you door is always open.
5. Communicate that they are invaluable, and that you need their
help and support.
6. Take notes, and be sure to follow up with them, even if it means
disappointing them with bad news.
7. Consider writing up a survey seeking their input for future
reference.
8. Ask for a list of needs for their classrooms. If you already have
one, DO something about it.
9. Assure them that you place the utmost emphasis of student
learning and that you will do everything possible to remove any
obstacles that interfere with their teaching students.

10.
Emphasize the value you place on working in a Professional
Learning Community and that TOGETHER, anything and
everything is possible!
