What Happens When Leading a Positive High-Expectations Culture is Not Delivered with Fidelity

When the school team is not engaging with community, it does not form a partnership with parents and the community to improve the student chances of success. 

The Problem is Compounded  

The principal: 

• does not promote improvements to the school environment 
• does not show parents or the community how the school is supporting their children 
• does not invite or create opportunities for parents to visit the classroom, which leads parents to disengaging from improvement their child’s education opportunities 
• does not demonstrate positive high expectations strategies or encourage parents to reinforce them at home 
• does not involve parents in problem solving discussions about their child’s learning 
• does not create opportunities for the school to engage with the community and community leaders 
• does not promote the community’s involvement in developing and achieving the school’s vision and improvement targets, which leaves the community disengaged from the school and its vision for students 
• does not empower parents to support their child’s education 
• does not engage parents to increase their commitment to improving the students’ education opportunity 
• does not share example of their child’s work to provide example of their growth 
• does not share with parents highlights of achievements and challenges of their child that require the parent’s attention 
• does not celebrate the parent’s success in supporting their child.
