  1. Five Dimensions of the Collaborative Culture • A collaborative culture must be built – it is not automatic • They are attitudes necessary to carry on a democratic governance structure • The 5 C’s, if intentionally developed and nurtured, will make your daily lives more enriched

  2. The Collective • Focuses on the Big Picture • Shared Vision and Mission • Focuses on larger issues of education - common causes • Larger professionalism - professional development plans in conjunction with mission of the school • At minimum, focuses on student learning • At maximum, focuses on evaluation of performances of all in meeting the mission

  3. The Consultative • Requires everyone be a consultant to each of the others • Stresses inquiry, assessment and problem solving • Preoccupation with action research and data sources • Not only students present, but teachers as well - to each other and to the education community

  4. The Coaching Commitment • Both students and teachers are unfinished learners • Each teacher has a mentor/coach (may be outside the local community) • Continuous improvement through: • Evaluation of performance • Mentor/coach review and recommendations • Results of reviews are shared so that common denominators can be identified for professional development • Development of meaningful professional development plans, with coach input

  5. The Consensual • Demands that decisions are arrived at by consensus/compromise and not majority vote • All are heard - all voices are to be valued • Everyone ought to rationalize and communicate their opinions in an orderly, respectful way • Must use benign abandonment when it appears all are not in agreement – for the good of the community

  6. The Community • The ultimate goal of the collaborative culture is to create a humane learning community • All learn to live, study, and manage collaboratively together through a governance structure that is procedurally sound and sensible • The school community, as a political entity, is continuous with the larger community
