21st Century Leadership

Strong school and district leadership makes optimal use of communication and collaboration for mutual trust and accountability. Strategic decisions focus resources to accelerate student progress and teacher development. CES partners with our schools and school districts to support their efforts to build role clarity, internal agreement, and a strong school-community vision.

We can help with:

• A school dashboard–role clarity and shared responsibility for achieving measurable goal.
• Assurance of school, student, and community voice in school growth
• Working knowledge of the role of leadership in change management
• A knowledge bank of programmatic and instructional implications of growth model and other student achievement data
• Clear accountability and problem-solving structures
• A collaborative culture, defined by norms of common planning time focused on students’ and teachers’ work, and accessible, skilled leadership
• Administrator searches, licensure, and capacity development
