Finally we come to your students who display the highest readiness level for the task at hand. These are the students who are both able and willing or confident to be successful. With these R4 students teachers should:
- Listen to updates
- Resist overloading
- Encourage autonomy
- Practice overall hands-off management; observe
- Reinforce student-led communication
- Provide support and resources
- Delegate activities
- Encourage freedom for risk taking
Regarding teacher behavior toward students, Situational Leadership contends that one size does not fit all . . . in fact, one size doesn't even fit most. If your goal to have every individual show continual quality improvement, you must choose a set of leader behaviors that is most appropriate for that student. Differentiation is the key.
Situational Leadership provides one way . . . a way that has shown to be repeatedly successful, to help reach the goal of continual quality improvement for all students. It provides a framework . . . a plan to help accomplish this.
A goal without a plan is nothing more than a wish.
