The WestEd Four Domains CALL Survey identifies pressing challenges for schools, uncovers opportunities for targeted intervention, and informs school improvement plans.
The Comprehensive Assessment of Leadership for Learning (CALL) is a school- and districtwide leadership assessment and feedback survey designed to support professional growth, leadership development, and school improvement planning. Rather than focus on an individual school leader, CALL utilizes a multi-source comprehensive survey to assess core leadership practices that are distributed across an organization. Upon completion of the survey, users receive immediate targeted data and feedback. CALL was originally developed and validated through a federally funded research grant.
The CALL Team worked with WestEd to develop the Four Domains CALL Survey to measure leadership practices and deliver feedback relative to the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement: Turnaround Leadership, Talent Development, Instructional Transformation, and Culture Shift. Schools and districts will receive detailed data related to each of the Four Domains.
