The Five Practices Model

The Five Practices Model is a framework for effective leadership, especially in group settings like classrooms or meetings. It includes five key actions: Modeling, where leaders demonstrate desired behaviors; Inspiring, motivating others toward a compelling vision; Facilitating, guiding discussions and activities smoothly; Connecting, building strong relationships among participants; and Extending, encouraging ongoing growth and reflection. Together, these practices help leaders create an environment of trust, collaboration, and continuous improvement, enabling teams or students to perform at their best while feeling supported and engaged.
