It does not mean that team members represent their particular constituencies. If team members believe that they are representing constituencies , the team may become factionalized. As a first step, your school improvement team should review the SALT activities required in 1999. They are described in School by School, throughout the guides, and in brief at the end of this guide. The team should meet as often as it needs in order to do its work.
Most teams meet once or twice each month .
Your team should understand that there will always be more work than can be finished at school improvement team meetings. Therefore, smaller work groups of representative team members may need to meet between the team's regular meetings. Your school improvement team should meet at times that will guarantee the maximum participation of all members. Thus, it is a good idea to schedule team meetings at alternate times. Members should agree on when they will meet.
