Innovative System and School Redesign: Improving Leadership Practice to Support Instructional Reform
Sat, April 5, 2:45 to 4:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 102ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Although coherent systems and well-designed infrastructures are essential for organizational improvement, they are frequently overlooked in the educational reform process. To understand how districts and schools can develop infrastructures that improve leadership and teaching practice, this symposium will examine several system- and school-level (re)design efforts to transform leadership and instruction in the United States. Drawing upon diverse theoretical and methodological frameworks, the symposium will explore innovative (re)design efforts across a variety of contexts, including urban and suburban districts and elementary, middle, and high schools. The symposium will also examine these efforts as executed at multiple leadership levels, attending to teachers as leaders and instructional coaches as well as school- and district-level leadership.
