Assignment 2: Collaborative Decision-Making

The ever-changing landscape of education and school accountability has given rise to a renewed focus on shared leadership. In the past, the principal was viewed as the primary decision maker within a school. However, Glickman (1989) points out that it is impossible for school principals to effectively complete all the necessary instructional and managerial tasks within schools. He contends that some teachers have more leadership abilities than the actual administrators and that “in successful schools, principals aren’t threatened by the wisdom of others, instead, they cherish it by distributing leadership” (Glickman, 1989, p. 8).

The data results were sorted based on the leadership style and the participants’ position as elementary or secondary administration or faculty and staff. The following table (Table 1) provides the mean from survey responses for each of the nine leadership styles and the participants’ identifiers.

Shared decision-making involves an open and honest conversation between the clinician and the patient. It is a collaboration that takes into account treatment options and the patient’s values and preferences. It gives a patient a voice in their own care. Therefore, pure placebo-prescribing is ethical when the patient has a say – which can foster a placebo effect within the patient. Not from the pill “itself, but rather from the relationship between [the] healer and [the] patient, and the latter’s own capacity for self-healing” (Brody, 1982, 117). In other words, the context in which the pure placebo is prescribed can influence its positive results. Contrastingly, when patients are left out of the decision-making process, there is no room for the clinician’s and patient’s relationship to grow. It also raises the possibility of deception – a concept appearing in almost all of the medical literature on placebo-prescribing in clinical practice.

In addition to connecting with all factors, the plan will include the leader becoming the change agent and motivating the masses together (Fullan, 2011). The Dean of Academic Affairs will “exemplify the curiosity, inquiry skills, and scholarly competencies need to investigate an idea and transform it into meaningful action” (Drexel University EdD Keystone 5, 2017). The plan will met be with resistance because so many at

Because of the principal’s silence, Mr. Jones did not demonstrate a balance on his task of managing the day to day to ensure the efficiency of the operations of the school. Also, he did not achieve the task of enabling or removing obstacles that the learning community encounters to continue the learning process. Even yet, when he decided to inform his faculty he should have act as the leader that he was supposed to be. He was not a successful leader, but just a manager when he did not motivate or create synergy between them. As a team, brainstorm ideas on how to challenge the school consolidation, could have been achieved.

I suggest him to modify the rules of compliance with his team and implement more monitoring and mentoring system among them, in order to figure out any problem and who is the responsible of making it.

The essay aim to explore the relevant objective on how effective theoretical concepts underpin is used to evaluate shared decision making and complying with local, national and professional guidelines in practice. A critical overview explanation will be used to establish a systematic comprehensive assessment, which is the initial stage to identify the care needs related to Mr Thompson's type 2 diabetes and hypertension condition. It is essential to provide a baseline information supporting every aspect entailing Mr Thompson’s complex needs. This includes, planning, intervention and outcome responding to the NHS Outcomes Framework (2015/16) domain 2, which stated the enhancement of the quality of his life with coping and taking responsibility of his own health care that may contributes to a speedy recovery.

I attended the Jefferson Public School Board Meeting on June 7, 2018. The items that were discussed at this meeting were the Superintendent’s and Board Members’ monthly reports and the request to adopt the 2018-2019 budget and appropriation of funds. In Superintendent Jason Glass’s report he spoke of the various schools that he met with at the end of the school and how he spoke with some of the area graduates at the graduations he attended. Dr. Glass spoke of the Executive Leadership Council meeting he is involved in and they recently just met in Washington D.C. This council allows other superintendents from across the country to meet and collaborate on how their districts are doing and what they are doing in their districts that are or are

The article Titled “partners in care: patient empowerment through shared decision-making, Written by Debra J. Hain and Dianne Dandy explores the benefits of shared disciomne making and having a patient- provider partnership. Although the authors specifically mention a patient with chrinoch Kidiney diese and talks about how this helps nurses and their patients in the Nephrology specialty I believed that the subjects talked about in this article can be used by any nurse. Our patient MR.G has a diagnosis of powerlessness relating to the dependence on others and because of this we knew he needed to gain some control back. This is why we decided to aprroce him with the topic of going to a support group but we did not want to just

Thank you for sharing your clinical experience and your biases with regard to diagnostic reasoning that has affected patient intervention. You’ve mentioned in your post some of the advantages with shared decision making. I came across an article by Dierckx, Deveugele, Roosen, & Devisch stating that, patients “prefer to be involved during decision making” (2013, p. 1329). However, about a third of therapists “assumed” that patients prefer to let the therapists decide on their behalf in their plan of care. (Dierckx et al, 2013, p. 1327) One of the advantages for shared decision-making is patient satisfaction because they play an active role in their plan of care which makes them motivated to participate and achieve their goals in

The superintendent is the school district’s instructional leader. He is the driving force behind the

u can look at it differently and for kids helps them engage with the issue in a way that helps them feel confident. Collaborative Problem Solving is great for kids with behavioral issues as it works on communication, problem solving, helping parents looks at their kids in a different way.

The rational decision-making model describes a series of steps that decision makers should consider if their goal is to maximize the quality of their outcome. In other words, if you want to make sure that you make the best choice, going through the formal steps of the rational decision-making model may make sense. The following are the steps taken to come to a rational decision: 1. Identify the problem, 2. Establish decision criteria, 3. Weigh decision criteria, 4. Generate alternatives, 5. Evaluate the alternative, 6. Choose the best alternative, 7. Implement the decision, 8. Evaluate the decision.

In terms of becoming a mediator and consensus builder the authors detailed the need for principals to possess relational leadership skills in order to be able to both facilitate groups and coach others on staff in the ability to facilitate their own groups, and stressed that the key to this is the ability to effectively participate in conflict resolution (Donaldson, Marnik, Mackenzie, & Ackerman, 2009). The authors suggested that conflict is part and parcel of school reform and that in addition to being able to deal effectively with conflict the successful principal needs to develop the ability for bringing about consensus within the group, noting that interpersonal and intrapersonal skills were as much or more important than knowledge (Donaldson, Marnik, Mackenzie, & Ackerman, 2009).

An advisory committee will be formed consisting of no more than an 8 member sample of the major stakeholders group, parents of currently enrolled high school students, contributors from the local community, and administration from the school district. The following is a breakdown of the members and the roles they will play in the committee:
