Great curriculum, is, of course, a key component to increase student achievement. So to is support for leaders. To get an #ROI on new curriculum, system leaders need to create the conditions for success for principals to do their best work. This means aligning the messaging and training, reducing bureaucracy, differentiating support, ensuring teacher leadership, gathering student feedback, and helping measure leading and lagging indicators. A lot of it is about managing expectations too. https://lnkd.in/e7X7YQcP

More than 30 states now have mandates for evidence-based reading instruction, and school systems are working to adjust. However, principals, who are tasked most heavily with managing the change, are often learning themselves as highlighted in this Education Week article. That's why we work with leaders to build supportive learning infrastructure and implementation plans for new instructional priorities that distribute leadership across teams, taking some of the lift off principals and investing everyone in owning their unique part of the change. https://hubs.la/Q02C-FvC0

https://lifeinfocus.me As school leaders, it’s time to regain control of our mindset cycle. When we ask, “What is required of us?” the answer is clear – it’s time to step up and make a difference. It’s time to take control and respond to each challenge with skill and purpose. For the past two years, educational leaders have consistently reverberated with the following theme: ” Our jobs are difficult, things have changed, and I can’t wait to retire.” When we operate on default, when we leave our mindset to chance, we abdicate control. When we have focused leadership, when we are disciplined in our approach to our work, we seize the moment.

Thank you, Education Week, for sharing insights on the pivotal role principals play as instructional leaders in the science of reading! 📋 Principals are key in guiding teachers to build their knowledge and truly "walk the talk" in implementing structured literacy. Their hands-on involvement and leadership ensure effective and sustained literacy practices. #EducationLeadership #ScienceOfReading #StructuredLiteracy #InstructionalLeadership
