Collaborative Decision Making
Schools and the people within them often get bogged down in the day to day demands that the job places on them.
The idea that teams go through definite stages doesn't sit well with me. In my experienceteams meet get to know each other and identify a common purpose in order to work effectively. My team for assignment 1 is still in the process of getting to know one another. The TL's role is often that of a facilitator, innovator, coordiantor and specialist in what is available.
