How to Engage Administrators

Page 8: May 15 Operations Commitee Meeting

Realize that no matter how important “it” is, “it” is only a small piece of their world.

Consider the Big Picture

How can I help you meet the needs of your school?

Come From a Place of Support

Page 10: May 15 Operations Commitee Meeting

Provide a consistent program but allow for each school to put it’s own stamp on it.

Consistency

Individuality

Balance Consistency & Individuality

Page 11: May 15 Operations Commitee Meeting

Initial Approach

Key Points Advice from a Principal

Timing is everything Be clear & prepared Find out what their

needs are in this area Start small - Make it

simple & doable Utilize their ability to

tap into resources & identify the right players

“Tell them what the program is, how it meets the needs at their school, and how you can help support them in doing it.”

Follow-Up

Key Points Advice from a Principal

Follow through on what you say you’re going to do

Make it easy for them to follow up on what you need them to do

Be patient Express appreciation

“Be patient. Things often go slower than you think they should. That’s okay and often ends up being better in the long run.”

Relationship Building

Key Points Advice from a Principal

Get to know the individual ◦ What is most compelling to

them?◦ What is the best way to

reach them? Build mutual respect &

trust◦ Follow up on your end◦ Give them what they need

Your enthusiasm can be contagious

“Be clear on your boundaries. If I ask you to take on something you’re not able to do, I would rather you tell me that up front and help me figure out a different way than have you say yes and not do it.”

TroubleshootingWhat to do if…

… difficult to get their time

Key Points Advice from a Principal

Find the right time Go to them Be flexible Be prepared Make it easy for them Meet their needs Follow up with

appreciation

“Present a plan and be ready to make it happen. If you come to me with a good idea, I’ll add it to my list and may or may not get to it. If you come to me with a plan that looks well thought out and organized, all I need to do is say yes.”

Page 16: May 15 Operations Commitee Meeting

… “that just won’t work”

Key Points Driving Question

Consider why – are there pieces that will work or other ways to think about it

Don’t get too tied to a specific program or idea

What is the need & how can I help you fill it?

Page 17: May 15 Operations Commitee Meeting

… they seem interested but don’t follow through

Key Points Advice from a Principal

What is it you really need from them?

Make it easy Remember the big

picture Be patient and follow

up

“I appreciate when someone has patience and good humor. If I don’t get back to someone right away it’s not because I don’t want to but because my list is too long. I don’t mind some friendly reminders if they come with good humor.”
