Our school distirct has an opportunity to put together a team of leaders
under the umbrella of a grant to serve language minority students. Rather
than develop narrow and limiting job descriptions and filling traditional
staff positions, we have decided to attempt to create a team with the task
of creating solutions to ensure that all students are learning. We
envision the team coming from a variety of experiences and skill areas and
working as a cross-functional team. Our inspiration for this concept is
NASA Explorer team which was given the task "Get us to Mars" and allowed
the freedom and creativity to accomplish the task.
I am interested in any organizations' experience with such a process both
in terms of creating the team and in facilitating the team's processes.
Thank you.
