Description¶

A parallel leadership recipe strengthens principals and other leaders: "Strengthen school leaders' skills in developing school-wide systems to support data use and providing coaching and instructional leadership on instructional routines through 5 PLC sessions." This treats leadership capacity as a distinct lever from classroom practice, developed in its own session series rather than in the educator PLCs.
