Dr. Chad Dumas is a Solution Tree PLC at Work®, Assessment, and Priority Schools associate and international consultant, presenter, and award-winning researcher whose primary focus is collaborating to develop capacity for continuous improvement.

His latest book is The Teacher Team Leader Handbook: Simple Habits to Transform Collaboration in a PLC at Work®.

We discuss:

• Foundations and actions of teacher team leaders
• How important to establish the mission of the PLC?
• The book has Swiss Army Knife-like tools for leaders — you don’t use them all every time you pull out the knife, but you have what’s needed for the situation
• Role and responsibilities of the teacher team leader
• The assumptions a team leader must make
• Who selects the leader?
• When it’s time to build capacity and when it’s time for a reset
