Description

The infographic identifies five domains of strategic investment through which school leaders strengthened organizational capacity for curriculum implementation: "Championed professional learning", "Protected teacher time", "Expanded staff support", "Engaged external support", and "Strengthened collaboration structures". Leaders who targeted these key organizational levers supported teachers' engagement with the Skyline ELA curriculum. The pattern organizes implementation support as leadership investment across these five domains rather than as a single intervention.
