Building Effective School Systems: From Observations to Culture


Listen Later

What does it take to create effective systems in a school that support both teachers and students while building a positive culture? Nicole Baker, an experienced educator and administrator, shares insights on creating organizational systems that work. Drawing from her experience across multiple states and roles, including superintendent-principal, she discusses:

  • Teacher observation and support strategies, including innovative approaches like video observations
  • Data tracking systems for student performance with emphasis on avoiding over-assessment
  • Building positive school culture by prioritizing staff wellbeing and implementing school-wide behavioral programs
  • Practical scheduling approaches involving stakeholder input
  • Communication systems including weekly staff updates and regular parent outreach
  • Time management techniques for administrators using digital tools

Key highlight is her success in developing a collaborative environment in a small K-8 school, demonstrating how size constraints can be turned into advantages through creative leadership approaches.
