In Canyons, teaming structures include a Building Leadership Team (BLT), Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), and a Student Support Team (SST). Involves establishing clarity of purpose, utilizing an established team structure with shared leadership, ensuring accountability, following an established problem solving process, building trust through equitable participation and collaboration among team members, and shared decision making in order for teams to be efficient, productive, and effective. Systematic data review is critical for informing decision making at the school and classroom levels and dedicating time for collaborative problem solving around data allows educators to focus on students’ strengths and priorities for instruction in order to enhance student learning. A collaborative model for team decision-making leverages the diverse perspectives and expertise of all team members to focus on relevant data, problem solve around data, and reach consensus on well-informed plans of action to improve student outcomes.
