Administrators must deliberately select team members that not only understand the importance of the transition to high school, but also genuinely care about the achievement of their students. Strong Team Leads can build relationships with students and adults as well as facilitate data-driven conversations that lead to sound decision-making.
Administrators, along with the Team Lead, should refer to Tool Set A during the initial phases of team planning and development. These tools provide ideas and considerations as you develop the systems and structures for this work in your school. Additionally, the job descriptions support your process for selecting team members. Some school communities have the resources to develop an On-Track Coordinator role who manages the operations of Success Team work.
Once formed, your Success Team can use these tools to support the clear communication of meeting expectations and as a source for providing feedback to Team Leads.
