High Growth Title I Schools Leadership
Leadership
Across all nine schools, the ratings for the Leadership standard were high. However, five of the schools stood out for their remarkably strong leadership. Leadership at these schools did not merely reside in the school principal but was purposefully distributed across teams - teachers were very much a part of the decision-making process. This support for and value of distributed leadership is reflected in the overall vision and mission of each school.
According to the reports generated by the ESP reviews, the following were the highest ranked indicators in the Leadership standard:
- Leadership allocates and monitors the use of resources
- Leadership protects instructional time
- Leadership develops and sustains a shared mission and vision
- School leadership incorporates information from disaggregated data into the school
improvement plan - School leadership promotes and supports a diverse educational environment
