A mature collaborative

culture built on shared

beliefs, vision, and purpose seldom uses

voting as a decision-making strategy.

Using tools for consensus building is a

natural approach to collective focus and shared responsibility.

Arkansas Leadership


“Six essential factors work in concert to produce a sense of shared responsibility for student success.”

1.Compelling purpose, shared standards, and academic focus

2.Collective efficacy and shared responsibility for student learning

3.Collaborative culture

4.Communal application of effective teaching practices and deprivatized practice

5.Relational trust in one another, in students, and in parents

6. Individual and group learning based on on-going assessment and feedback

(Garmston & Wellman, p. 15)
