Implementing the Success Team
Leadership
One big change incorporated with the Success Team format is that formal leaders encourage team members to take leadership risks. Powerful leaders let team members know they can behave autonomously while fulfilling expectations that they will collaborate with each other and with administrators. As a result of these expectations, team members are likely to support each other as they advocate for every student, rather than focusing just on the ones who are in crisis. In this model, team members also use evidence and new academic programs to create systemic changes that move students toward graduation or other markers of achievement.
Before changes can be made effectively, relational trust must be built between the counselors and the administrationâespecially those leaders who supervise the Success Team. Through their behaviors, leaders can demonstrate their belief that counselors possess the skills to effect change. Administrators must trust Success Team members to identify and use their own gifts and skills in projects related to their own interests.
Once that trust has been established, team members feel free to devise systems to support students. As a counselor in a struggling school that implemented the Success Team model put it,
We experienced a change in viewing ourselves and our own abilities, and we were given the trust to try things, and we were given the rope to go ahead. The motto has been, âJust do something. Try something.â
