This new Decatur edTV video shows charter school consultant Debbie Pipin laying down some ground rules for the  CSD Leadership Teams.  Even in the after videos, you can tell that some of the participants (both parents and educators) have that “what have I gotten myself into?” look on their face.   Good stuff.   Thanks Andrea!

According to Pipin, some of the big no-no’s for team members are engaging in “parking lot meetings” after-hours and speaking out against a vote after it has passed.  Also, teachers on teams need to be cognizant that if they are seen talking alone at school, it could be seen as discussing issues outside of meetings.

Actually this blog is like a giant, virtual parking lot meeting where everyone wears paper bags on their heads.

Oooh…catchy, new blog title.
