Activity #5: Shared Governance Model
Shared Governance Model for Covey High School
• Plan
• Leadership Team established
• Self-assessment data for school analyzed by team
• Team takes information to department teams
• Department teams determine how they can support mission of school
• Department teams identify and prioritize what should be improved
• Do
• Department teams (i.e., teachers) implement prioritized plan of improvements on a small scale
• Teams have other options available for implementation if first plan does not work
• Check
• Leadership Team evaluates statistical data gathered from standardized tests given to 9 th and 11 th graders
• Department teams use action research
• Define problem
• Students take pretest
• Teachers use identified strategy for improvement
• Students take a posttest to show progress
• Statistics from test are gathered and evaluated
• Act
• Leadership Team and department teams continue to implement improvement plans if they are working
• Department teams (teachers) see first improvement plan is not working, report to Leadership team, return to “Do” and proceed with Plan B
The PDCA plan is cyclical and has no termination point. Teachers continue to work in teams to continually plan, do, check, and act.
