She founded PTO Answers 7 years ago to boost family engagement in schools and empower parents to improve their child’s educational experience and school community through PTA/PTO involvement. She’s been an active PTO leader for the past 14 years and hosts the vibrant 7900 plus member Super Star PTO Leaders Facebook Group. When she’s not volunteering, you can find her in her garden, listening to the latest Katherine Center audiobook or walking the family dogs.

So much to learn and think about.

This month I am introducing a new addition to the Teaching Learning Leading K12 library:
Team Building Tips with Steve.
These episodes will be monthly and run between 5 and 10 minutes.
I will be talking about ways to get your team to be a team.
Each episode will feature a resource that you can use to help you focus on the growth and health of your team.
On today’s show I ask the question “Is your team a team?”
So is it?
Here is a list of the resources that I mention:
The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni
The 17 Indisputable Laws of Teamwork by John Maxwell
This is Your Life with Michael Hyatt (A Podcast)
Also, Don’t forget to stop by my blog article called Principals: 5 Things to do Before Next School Year
Additionally, I did a few full podcast episodes about Team Building. Check out Episode 35: The Law of the Inner Circle and Team Building
Episode 31: Trust-The Key to Team Building
I hope that you enjoy this new segment and will follow the links to the awesome resources that can help you become more team oriented.
Best wishes!

Flip is focused on helping kids and teachers be successful by changing behaviors and attitudes.
He is the founder and chairman of the Flippen Group, “an educator training, corporate talent, and team development company.” He is also the author of The Flip Side: Break Free of the Behaviors That Hold You Back.
“Flip developed the theory of Overcoming Personal Constraints (OPC) to accelerate personal effectiveness by identifying and breaking debilitating behavior patterns that limit performance and hinder growth.”
“The theory and practice of Overcoming Personal Constraints are being used in board rooms, locker rooms, and briefing rooms to improve individual and team performance around the world.”
On today’s show, Flip connects his thoughts to creating better relationships in the school. He and his team work with the staff and students to understand how to identify those behaviors in the school house that keep the adults and students at odds with each other. He talks about the factors that need to be addressed to create a better school climate that will help adults and students be successful.
I think that you will really enjoy this conversation.
Flip is an amazing individual who has developed a way to reach out to many and help them overcome bad behaviors. After listening I encourage you to check out more about Flip and The Flippen Group.
