Positive Strategies for Managing Change
Best Practices
As part of the process for identifying positive organizational
coping strategies, we have
asked other LBS programs what methods and resources they have
used to cope with
Literacy Reform changes.
The following are four sample best practices that may be of interest
to you.
BEST PRACTICE #1
| Who sponsors it? | Georgian College LBS Program |
|---|
| What is it called? | LBS Steering Committee |
|---|
| What do they do? | The committee is made up of between eight and ten practitioners
and administrators. Everybody from all the sites is invited to attend the
meetings which happen every two months. The meetings are held in
Barrie and last approximately four to five hours.
The goals of the steering committee are:
- To facilitate communication among LBS delivery sites.
- To share workload an-d to avoid duplication of effort.
- To share information and knowledge regarding implementation
of LBS Program Reform.
|
|---|
| Why is it useful? | It helps practitioners and administrators brainstorm
ideas. The committee has gone beyond using it being a venting session.
They use the time to effectively brainstorm ideas and determine what
has to be done next. |
