KnowledgeBases > The School Improvement KnowledgeBase > Element 2 > Activity 1 > Task 4: Invite Selected Candidates to Participate

Guideline:

Once potential team members are identified, the principal should formally invite each person to participate as a member of the school improvement team. An invitation letter should be sent explaining the team's purpose, the level of improvement desired, and the anticipated time commitment members will be asked to make. The principal should follow up each letter with a personal telephone call to confirm each invitee's willingness to participate and to answer any questions the invitee may have.
