Teaming: The Energy System for Sustainable Schooling with Guests Helen Hazi, PhD, Karolyn Snyder, PhD, Kristen Snyder, PhD and Mike Johnson

In this episode we explore the concept of teaming within the context of Corbett Prep, a non-profit, private preK3-8 school. Dr. Karolyn Snyder offers a brief history of teaming as developed in collaboration with Dr. Robert Anderson. Dr. Kristen Snyder describes how the school’s culture of collaborative teaming allowed for a rapid and effective response to the COVID pandemic. She also explains how Corbett is now providing a context within which to understand behaviors and work processes that are important in launching and sustaining a culture of teaming. Mike Johnson offers an administrative perspective on the synergy generated through teaming and its contribution to the dual goals of wellness for all school members and academic achievement for students.  Dr. Helen Hazi offers an outsider’s perspective as she has been studying the nature of instructional evaluation within a relatively non-hierarchical structure.
