Every staff member is an important and valued member of the IDEA community. In order to be an effective leader of the IDEA community, each staff member must consistently embed these leadership principles into their daily practice as a professional:

• We use data to inform our practice.
• We apply and model clear, effective communication techniques with all stakeholders.
• We incorporate adult learning practices within and across teams to foster collaboration and critical thinking.
• We give meaningful feedback (verbal and written) to colleagues to enhance performance.
• We make real world and personal connections with all stakeholders to build strong relationships.
