What You Will Learn

Effective leadership is central to sustainable school and district improvement. WestEd engages education leaders — both individually and as members of school or district leadership teams — in the design and implementation of effective change processes aimed at strengthening the culture and capacity of their institutions to improve student outcomes.

Participants receive training and coaching grounded in the national Professional Standards for Educational Leaders and the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement (PDF).

Leaders will receive training and coaching in how to:

  • Develop a systematic approach to school improvement in which research- and evidence-based strategies are identified and implemented
  • Engage stakeholders (leaders, teachers, parents, media, and community) in collaborative strategic and systemic school improvement planning
  • Engage in a data-driven cycle of continuous improvement for monitoring short- and long-term goals
  • Build capacity for school improvement through Distributed Leadership Models
  • Establish school improvement/turnaround policies and procedures for identifying, selecting, retaining, and sustaining competent and committed personnel
  • Implement systemwide support of standards-based instructional practice grounded in  research-based pedagogical approaches
  • Prioritize and align people, time, and resources to drive instructional improvement
