How long does it take to do the program?

That is really up to you. Some teams will do it across a few months, others across a year. You have access to the platform for two years, so if you want, you can really  stretch it out!

How long should our training sessions be?

Again, this is up to you. In the course guide we do give you an estimate for how long we think each activity or discussion should take, and it will be up to you how many sections of each module you would like to move through in a meeting.

How far apart should our team meetings be for Dream Team in a Box?

You can stagger the meetings in the duration that works best for your team, but we also have a recommended timeline in the course-guide.

Who should be on our team?

The program is really designed for school leaders, so you should identify leaders who have key decision making power and influence in your school. Really practically we would advise you to consider including your Principal, Deputy Principals, Assistant Principals, perhaps Heads of Year or Faculties, and maybe even some up and coming leaders that you want to invest in.

Can we access coaching as part of the program?

Yes! The best way to do this is to fill in the form which is on the online platform for each module. Here you can talk through questions, challenges or opportunities you have, and we can respond by email, or arrange for a video-chat with your team and one of the program facilitators.

You can purchase copies of the book Dream Team through the ASCD website which can be found at http://www.ascd.org.
