Introducing SPARC's Tool of the Week
Elevate your skill set and bring more value to your auxiliary programs and schools with Tool of the Week, a free-for-members initiative presented by SPARC Senior Advisor David Sullivan.
David describes a tool as “a conceptual model, rubric, set of guiding questions, organizing graphic, worksheet, checklist, or something practical that helps you manage and lead your program.” Each week, David will share a new tool on SPARC Connect in our Collections folder. (Read how to find Collections here.) Members already have access to four powerful new tools:
-
Three Pebble Ritual—Stay focused on daily tasks to reach larger goals
-
Two Truths and a Lie—Ask questions that help you and your staff identify your program’s strengths and weaknesses
-
Leadership for Learning –Conceptualize what fuels your successes and failures and what you need to do to improve results
-
The 5-15 Exercise—Evaluate accomplishments for a given week and ready yourself for the week ahead
Members can comment on each tool and share their own variations. If you know of a tool that would be a great addition to the Toolbox, send it to david@SPARCnational.com.
