Building Administrator Reflection Tool
Where Is Our Faculty Right Now?
Stages of group development, and the support each one actually needs
A faculty is a group, and groups move through stages. The support that helps a staff at one stage falls flat at another. This tool helps you read where your faculty is right now, so the professional learning, structures, and skills you plan next match that stage.
Before you start
- Think about your faculty as a whole over the past month. Rate what you have actually observed in meetings, teams, and day-to-day interactions.
- Go with your first honest read.
- There are no good or bad stages. Every group moves through them.

What this faculty needs next
This reflection tool is designed to start a conversation. It has not been tested as a validated measure, so use your totals alongside what you know about your staff. Different teams or departments may sit at different stages; if one group came to mind as you answered, run it again for that group.
Reflect and plan
Three questions to answer while the read is fresh. Print this page to keep your responses.
What behaviors are you seeing in your faculty that point to this stage?
In your own words, what are 2-3 things your faculty needs to get better at?
Where could you build those into the next month? (faculty meetings, PLCs, team time)

The companion chart pairs each stage with the specific SEL skills that move a group forward, plus a front-loading move that fits.
