Unit 4, After Action Review

You've done it! While more work lies ahead of you, you have built new understanding, capacity, and opportunity for leadership collaborations with school and district leaders. For some of you, these kinds of conversations are already part of your professional routine as librarians and leaders; for others, this has been an opportunity to reflect and stretch in new ways.

1. An After Action Review (AAR) is a simple process that allows individuals and teams to examine their work, project, or event as a process for continuous improvement and learning. In your Leadership Conversation Portfolio, examine your two administrator conversations and answer these questions:

• What went well?

• What could have gone better?

• What did I learn about my administrator and myself that I can use in the future?

• What do I need to do to sustain a partnership and relationship with this administrator in the future?
