School turnaround is a complex process that requires strong leadership and effective teamwork. Building Transformational School Leadership Teams is designed to build the capacity of school and system-level leadership to galvanize and lead teams in support of school transformation. The program emphasizes five key tenets to ensure school leadership teams are capable of driving the changes necessary to improve learning outcomes in schools:
- Measurable Growth: Our professional development and coaching for school leaders are standards-based, with behavioral indicators articulated to track progress and differentiate support.
- Emphasis on Teaming: We support the collaboration of principals with key staff members, helping build the collective capacity of the group into a high-performing school leadership team with the essential knowledge and skills to effect school improvement.
- School-Specific Learning: We engage principals and their leadership teams in learning that focuses on their own schools’ cultures, data and improvement plans, resulting in instantly relevant and immediately impactful learning.
- District-Level Support: We build the capacity of district-level leaders, particularly principal supervisors, to support school leaders and their teams in strategic goal setting, plan implementation, and progress monitoring.
In addition to ongoing workshops and leadership team retreats, we also provide development and support for principal supervisors and coaching for district and school leaders – all in service of sustainable school transformation that yields improved student learning and performance.
