Definition of a team:
"A team is a group organized to work together to accomplish a set of objectives that cannot be achieved effectively by individuals."

Three (3) Types of teams:
1.Executive Model
-Small teams of 3-8
-All district managers
-No constituent or stakeholder involvement
Advantages: quick, focused, consensus among leaders Disadvantages: isolated, no district-side ownership

2.District Model
-Mid-size team of 15-20
-Reperesentatives form each key stakeholder group within the 'boundries' of district staff
Advantages: key representatives are involved, sense of district-wide ownership
Disadvantages: representatives can take the narrow view, no community-side ownership

3.Community Model
-Large team of 25-30
-Mix of district staff and community leaders (50:50 preferred)
Advantages: key district community leaders involved, sense of community-wide ownership
Disadvantages: slow process, everyone needs to be heard, steep learning curve as citizens become knowledgeable about issues and practices
