Designing and Refining the Development of Team-Based Instructional Leadership Practice

• In Event: Program Issues in Educational Leadership

Abstract

Yearlong data and feedback gathered about a team-based leadership development intervention informed refinements to its curriculum and face-to-face institute to more effectively build the capacity of instructional leadership teams to enact practices that promote math and science teachers’ technology integration within their schools’ contexts. Learning from two earlier pilots, this third iteration engaged leadership team members earlier and more deeply to focus on their specific system of leadership practices, for example through online planning sessions, a leadership practice inventory, school-based data from multiple sources, peer feedback, and additional digital and non-digital scaffolds. These cases and their cross-case analysis provide insight into designing and refining the experiential learning teams of leaders need to rethink and adapt systems of instructional leadership practices.
