  9. Hoy Tarter Research on Decision Making • Research shows that the effectiveness of teacher participation depends upon the problem and the situation. • The roles and functions of both teachers and administrators in decision making need to be varied according to the nature of the problem.

  10. Pros of Teacher Involvement in Shared Decision Making • Important factor for teacher morale • Participation in the process is positively related to the teacher’s satisfaction with the profession. • Teachers prefer principals who involve them in decision making.

  11. Cons of Teacher Involvement in Shared Decision Making • Decisions fail because of poor quality of decisions or the process. • Decisions fail because subordinates don’t accept the final outcome. • Teachers neither expect nor want to be involved in every decision.

  12. Critical Questions About Involving Teachers • Under what conditions? • To what extent? • How should teachers be involved? • What is the administrator’s role in the process?

  13. Hoy Tarter Model of Shared Decision Making • Zone of Acceptance • Trust and Situations • Decision Making Structures • Leader Roles

  14. Zone of Acceptance • The more teachers are going to agree with a decision, the less they need and want to be involved in making the decision. • If a decision lies outside one’s zones of acceptance, participation will be more effective.

  15. Points for the Administrator to Consider • The test of relevance: Do the subordinates have a personal stake in the decision outcomes? • The test of expertise:Do they have expertise to make a useful contribution to the decision?

  16. When is Participation in Decisions Effective?

  17. Trust and Situations • Trust of subordinates should sometimes moderate their involvement when personal goals conflict with the organizational goals.

  18. Types of Situations • Democratic: Outside Z of A + High Trust = Extensive Participation • Conflictual: Outside Z of A + Little Trust = Restricted Participation • Noncollaborative: Not Relevant to Subordinates + No Expertise = Avoid Involvement • Stakeholder: Personal Stake + Little Expertise = Limited/Occasional Involvement • Expert: No Personal Stake + Knowledge = Occasional Participation

  19. Decision Making StructuresOnce the administrator has determined that subordinates should be involved, the next question becomes how the process should proceed. • Group Consensus • Group Majority • Group Advisory • Individual Advisory • Unilateral Decision

  20. Five Leadership Roles • Integrator: consensus builder • Parliamentarian: protective facilitator • Educator: explains and discusses • Solicitor: advice seeker • Director: decision maker

  21. Final Key Points • Develop a culture that focuses on the goals of a school:students come first. • Be authentic with teachers; tell it like it is. • Develop a culture of trust. • Develop teacher expertise. • Don’t burden teachers with decisions they can’t or don’t want to make. • Be aware of groupthink. Sometimes when smart people think in unison, poor decisions are likely to follow. Nurturing the complaining faculty member may seem odd but it is an antidote to groupthink.
