How We Work

The Wildflower network is decentralized and rooted deeply in our values of Connectedness and Growth; our norms of Awareness, Kindness, and Autonomy with Support; and the 9 Principles that guide our schools’ design.  

 

MWMS operates in a unique governance structure called Holacracy--a non-hierarchical model of governance whereby all roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and have an established purpose and clear accountabilities. Because of our decentralized, non-hierarchical organizational model MWMS emphasizes the development of a strong leadership team at each school site. The Teacher Leader teams at each site are responsible for all decisions that affect their children and families; this autonomy is critical to the Wildflower model and is reinforced in the Nine Principles that unite all Wildflower Schools.

 

Roles evolve regularly as our work and surrounding circumstances change, and we rely on radical transparency, requesting and sharing advice with one another, a commitment to participation in conflict resolution practices, and clearly articulated roles and responsibilities to ensure that each individual is able to lead within their role.  

 

We strive to ensure that our charter represents the communities we serve and are proactively seeking people of color and individuals from diverse backgrounds who share the organization’s passion for equity in education.
