“Regular public recognition of specific collaborative efforts, accomplished tasks, achieved goals, team learning, continuous improvement, and
support for student learning remind staff of
their collective commitment…” (Dufour, Dufour, Eaker, Many. 2006)

“The intention of stories is not just to entertain…They are
intended to teach…they cause us to remember.”
(Kouzes and Posner. 1999)

“Make teams the focus of recognition and
celebration. Take every opportunity to
acknowledge the efforts and accomplishments of
teams.”(Dufour, DuFour, Eakers, and Many, 2006)
