Planning for Effective Change-Tom Elkins, Consultant of National College of School Leadership, UK

In UK, changes are more frequent, drastic and forceful: 17 Acts in Legislation for

education change in one year in 1997

HK Schools are required to prepare an action plan for the implementation of 334 from 2005 to 2009 a series of concrete actions with

details

英國國家學校領導學院T

om

Elkins

介紹了英國的情況，

他認為要落實改革，必須訂

定實在的行動計劃。

Development of Leadership We, school leaders should

identify our strengths & areas for improvement in our leadership

evaluate our leadership among members of the leadership team (No one is perfect, but a team can - Belbin’s principle)

allow members to develop their leaderships

We need to have action plan to develop our leadership

The instrument recommended is Leadership Behaviour Questionnaire

領導能力的發展｜領導層亦須積

極發展其領導能力。

Transforming the Organisation To transform the organisation,

leadership should be distributed Each teacher should see

themselves as agents of change Building consent of people to

follow the leaders requires trust Leaders should tolerate people

who are not seeing things as they do and assume good faith in them

要改革學校組織，領導能力

必須有所分配，每個教師都

應將自己視作一個變革者。

Impact on Different Stakeholders SMC: Focus group meeting with SMC on 334 Parents: Short letters to parents for children

to bring home every Friday to invite parents to get involve in school affairs

Students: Students’ voice is a big issue in UK It is very important to have students’

voice heard ‘What do you think?’ Parents and students should have the

information at the same time to avoid confusion and information should be synchronized

Supportive Staff: They should be involved to a certain extent

改革對不同持分有的影響：

Elkins

認為校董會要充份關注，

學校要令家長知情，也要聆聽

學生心聲，擔任非教學任務的

職員亦要有一定程度的參與。

His Conclusion Leadership as

learning, leadership for learning

他的結論認為領導能

力是要不斷學習的，

學人要為提昇學生的

學習成效而領導。

Building Capacity of Schools and Teachers -Allen Hau

Attitude = 100 Behaviour -> Habit ->

Character -> Life Knowing ->

Understanding -> Can do -> Will do

人力資源顧問侯先生認為態

度最重要，行為可以變習慣，

習慣可以改變性格，性格能

改變人的命運。

HRM at School Culture & Leadership Mindset Management Build Talent Inventory

& Pipelines A Good engineer is not

necessary a good manager of engineers

學校的人力資源管理重點在：

學校文化與領導、校內教職人員心態的

經營、人材的儲備及接班人的培養。

一個好的工程師未必是一個好的工程師

管理人。

Actions by School Leaders Communication,

Coaching, Career Path Planning, Considerate,..

Attention Reward Empowerment

學校領導要做的是C

AR

E：

溝通、指導、發展路線圖、

體諒、：關注、嘉許、賦權

等

Managing People’s Heart Over communication is

better than under communication

No compromise in “Performance Management”

人心的經營

多溝通比溝通不足好

對員工表現的經營，則不能妥

協

Building Capacity Yip Cho Yin

Building capacity for reform is to develop school (leadership and culture) curriculum (curriculum-pedagogy-

assessment) teachers (capacity in coping with

change) students (deep learning & whole

person development) Development of all aspects are

for the development of students

葉祖賢校長認為：學校要

建立推行新學制改革能力，

但最重要的，是為了學生

的發展。

Leadership Development School leaders should

develop in themselves new paradigm in

education new ideas for school

development

學校領導層的發展

學校領導層應該發展出自

己的教育新範式及學校發

展的創新思維。

Teacher Development teachers develop their

beliefs (for reform) through observations

teachers change their behaviours, habits, characters and attitudes when they consolidate their beliefs (for reform)

教師發展

教師透過對事實的觀察，發展自己

對教育改革的信念。

教師在鞏固其信念後，會改變行為、

習慣及態度。

Building A Learning Culture 20% of the teaching staff

should get involved in the core group

We should: Identify the standpoints

(strengths and school conditions) Improve the weak areas Increase good outcomes through

development of strengths Engage more effort in the reform

建立學習文化必須有20%

以上的教師成為核心成員

Professional Development Each individual

teacher should have a professional development plan goals, programme,

time, duration, resource implication, development path, etc.

為每個教師製訂

專業發展計劃。

Using Resources Well Select the right persons

to receive training for 334 implementation

讓合適的人受訓。

Experience Sharing -Mak Chan Wen

Ling

She agrees most with what M. Fullan says that moral purpose is important We should have respect for life.

Education does not merely serve to produce employees for commercial firms. Students should be happy.

In her school, they try to develop their confidence in learning through identifying their strengths. Each student is given a number of tests so as to find out which musical instrument suits him best.

Experience Sharing -Chang Pak Hong

In his school, 5-day week timetable is used

Timetable structure: 60+35+35+R+60+35+35+L+35+

35+ECA A total of 5 hr 30 min

Teachers who enter for training programmes are required to conduct experimental lessons to show what they have learnt when they come back

Group Work Session Organisation Strategies Human Resource

Strategies

Eight Propositions A clear, well-articulated moral purpose underpinning 334 Effective leadership teams established to implement 334 reform Key stakeholders are involved in development of vision and plans Action plan will seek to transform curriculum, pedagogy and

assessment Capacity building of all teachers is central to this task for which

professional learning needs are identified and a professional development plan is included.

The 2005-9 Action Plan will include specific goals, along with professional development and other strategies for key areas of activity

Sharing between schools increases their knowledge and capacity to act that networking is an important source of advice and sharing

334 Action Plan must be flexible enough to accommodated change and be constantly monitored and evaluated

Future Planning A Strategic Plan An Action Plan for Year 1

Day 3 Programme to continue before June
