How This Convening Differs
The NaLonal Postsecondary Strategy InsLtute (NPSI) is focused on the strategies, structures, accountability, and sustainability mechanisms for a district to mobilize stakeholders and advance college and career outcomes. District teams will be engaged in three ways throughout NPSI: • InformaLon sessions on strategies, structures, accountability, and sustainability mechanisms • Role-‐alike sessions where district administrators will meet with people in similar roles in other districts • Team planning Lme where district teams will have Lme to reflect and work on their own district plan with support from NPSI consultants

TEAM TIME – RULES OF ENGAGEMENT Establish Team Trust
• Commit to keeping conversaLons taking place among team members confidenLal regarding: • Ideas being pursued • Documents produced • Work not authorized to be shared or published
Engage In Honest Conversa9ons
• Honesty and integrity are highly valued ahributes for engendering trust and respect • Lack of honesty is a work stopper/deal-‐breaker for moving forward in our development and future success
Foster A Culture That Enables Every Team Member To Share Their Perspec9ves
• Foster a culture where everybody walks the talk and nobody walks on water. • Foster healthy conflict and debate that ahack the problem, not the person.

TEAM TIME – RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Acknowledge Dysfunc9onal Behavior
• DysfuncLonal behavior is defined as conduct the majority of group members consider as an impediment to the work.
• Key Points To Remember: • The more a person tries to protect their domain, the faster you'll lose it. Turf wars quickly deteriorate into dysfuncLonal silo behavior and bunker mentality. It's all bad.
• Influence without authority or control is the true test of leadership.
Don’t sit on the sideline – get in the game.
• Take responsibility for something. • The team wins when we all play and play by the same rules.
