Our Goals For These Two Days
• Explore The Art and
!
Science of Teaching as
a common language
for instruction.

• Learn how The Art and
!
Science of Teaching
connects with
Becoming a Reflective
Teacher.

Great Educators
• Are first and foremost, learners with a
!
teachable spirit…
• Are always in pursuit of improvement in
!
their craft…

!
when you see the phrase:

A High Reliability Organization

High Reliability Organizations
(HRO’s)
• Organizations that can not tolerate high
!
levels of failure…

• Organizations that “take a variety of
!
extraordinary steps in pursuit of error free
performance”
(Weick, Sutcliffe, Ostefeld, 1999).

High Reliability Organizations
• Continually monitor for errors in critical
!
factors of their operation….
• Immediately take action to keep those errors
!
from becoming system wide failures
• Recognize the interrelatedness of their
!
systems of operation

What about schools?
• Schools have not typically been part of the
!
High Reliability Organization conversation.
• Why do you think this is the case?
!

The reality is….
• There was a long period of time when
!
schools were willing to accept higher
levels of failure.
And…
• Schools have not had a blueprint for the
!
concept of becoming a High Reliability
School.

In the Era of Accountability…
• Schools are expected to be HROs
!
• Schools and entire districts are
!
measured by their ability to eliminate
failures.
