In this episode of EdLeadership on Tap, "Building a Collaborative School Culture," Gilbert, Dave and Michael break down the essential ingredients for moving a school from isolated silos to a unified team.

They emphasize the necessity of a shared collaborative vision. It’s not enough to just say "work together"; leaders must clearly define what collaboration looks like in practice to ensure everyone is moving in the same direction.

Accountability can be a dirty word in education, but the hosts argue that holding staff to high standards is an act of kindness. They discuss strategies for maintaining clear expectations without sacrificing professional relationships.

Collaboration doesn't happen by accident. The co-hosts emphasize that if a leader values teamwork, they must reflect that priority in the master schedule by protecting and prioritizing time for educators to meet.

For the On Tap segment Gilbert, Dave and Michael reveal which car best describes their personality and leadership style, leading to some fun (and surprisingly revealing) comparisons.
