Closing The Instructional Leadership Gap
Today, more than ever, schools need principals and district staff to be instructional leaders – guiding staff to artfully combine proven instructional approaches, high-quality curriculum, and rigor with a deep personal care for staff and students. This difference between where many leaders are, and where we need them to be is the instructional leadership gap.
In this interactive webinar, Jerry Boyd, Superintendent of Washington County (TN) Schools, Portia Slaughter, Chief Academic Officer at Harrisburg City (PA) School District, Sean Bulson, Superintendent of Hartford County (MD) Public Schools, and Leila Nuland, Senior Vice President for Education Elements, explore the root causes, proven ways to scaffold support for school leaders, and the best instructional feedback loops to drive learning and change. We’ll illustrate how leaders can regularly gather insights, facilitate learning, and provide actionable instructional direction with examples and case studies.
Participants will gain insights into:
-
The critical importance of shifting towards instructional leadership in the post-pandemic era
-
Identifying and addressing the root causes of the instructional leadership gap
-
Implementing supportive scaffolds that empower school leaders to excel
