Keith Morris, the principal of Mabton (WA) Junior / Senior High School, also believes in collaborative leadership. “The whole faculty was in on the decision to have an advisory program. The idea for creating advisories came from a core group of the teachers that we’re committed to making advisories work. And that’s what really made it fly,” said Morris. “Because I’m sure if it was a top-down decision— ‘we’re going to do advisories’—it wouldn’t have worked that way.”
