Best Practices: Expanding the School Leadership Team--Using Counselors to Facilitate Teacher Collaboration with Families
Amatea, Ellen S.; Vandiver, Fran
Journal of School Leadership, v14 n3 p327-344 May 2004
By expanding the school leadership team to include the school's counselors, the staff of a K-12 school successfully transformed many of their existing family-school routines into more collaborative efforts. We delineate the history of this change initiative, the goals and objectives for the change project, and the primary organizational change strategies. Finally, we consider the implications of this change project for school administrators and school counselors.
