The Monday morning memo ~ 17

One of the many beauties of working in teams is the value we all add to the discussion. The Union School District is rich with experience, knowledge, and varied backgrounds which provide the foundation to effective and productive collaboration.


The key to tapping into the experienced, knowledgeable, and varied backgrounds of our staff is to make sure all voices are heard. As part of the PLC process, one of the key components is ensuring that all members have an active voice in every discussion. As a district, we are working diligently to provide opportunities for ALL our staff to contribute.

"Collaboration allows teachers to capture each other's fund of collective intelligence.” 

― Mike Schmoker, Results & Focus

"Never underestimate the power of a small group of people to change the world.  In fact, it is the only way it ever has."  

~ Margaret Mead
