1 SREB LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE SREB s Leadership Curriculum Modules Engage Leaders in Solving Real School Problems Every school has leadership that results in improved student performance and leadership begins with an effective school principal. Challenge to Lead The SREB Leadership Initiative and its partners have developed a cutting-edge school leadership curriculum. The 14 modules are intended to help guide the redesign of state academies and university preparation programs to focus on what principals and school leadership teams need to know and be able to do to improve a school s instructional program and raise student achievement. The framework for the Leadership Curriculum Modules is the set of 13 critical success factors identified in studies of principals recognized for leading changes in school and classroom practices that raised student achievement. (See Preparing a New Breed of School Principals: It s Time for Action, SREB, 2001.) The modules make explicit the knowledge and skills principals must learn and apply as they put the critical success factors into practice. Each module provides activities that engage aspiring leaders and school leadership teams in solving real school problems by applying researchbased strategies. The SREB Critical Success Factors for Principals September 2006 Southern Regional Education Board th St. N.W. Atlanta, GA (404) Create a focused mission to improve student achievement and a vision of the elements of school, curriculum and instructional practices that make higher achievement possible. 2. Set high expectations for all students to learn high-level content. 3. Recognize and encourage implementation of good instructional practices that motivate and increase student achievement. 4. Create a school organization where faculty and staff understand that every student counts and where every student has the support of a caring adult. 5. Use data to initiate and continue improvement in school and classroom practices and student achievement. 6. Keep everyone informed and focused on student achievement. 7. Make parents partners in their student s education and create a structure for parent and educator collaboration. 8. Understand the change process and have the leadership and facilitation skills to manage it effectively. 9. Understand how adults learn and know how to advance meaningful change through quality sustained professional development that benefits students. 10. Organize and use time in innovative ways to meet the goals and objectives of school improvement. 11. Acquire and use resources wisely. 12. Obtain support from the central office and from community and parent leaders for the improvement agenda. 13. Continuously learn and seek out colleagues who keep them abreast of new research and proven practices.
2 State academies, universities and others who prepare and develop school leaders can use the modules as a starting point to design courses that emphasize the responsibilities of instructional leadership and problembased learning. The modules promote the involvement of university faculty, academy consultants and district-level staff in school-based learning experiences with aspiring principals, practitioners and school leadership teams. Across the 16-state SREB region (and outside as well), SREB Leadership Curriculum Modules are changing the way school leaders are being trained at universities, state academies and at the district level. Western Kentucky University, University of Rhode Island, East Tennessee State University and other universities have used the modules to redesign their leadership preparation programs. Many states, including Alabama, Florida and Louisiana are using the modules statewide, while a number of school districts, such as Charleston, South Carolina and Ringgold and Macon, Georgia, are turning around their lowperforming schools by using strategies recommended in the modules. Why Develop a New Leadership Curriculum? Most states have adopted new standards for preparation and certification of principals. However, the traditional models of training provided to school principals are still out of sync with the challenges faced by today s leaders. Everyone now agrees that concern for curriculum, instruction and student achievement should be at the center of the principal s role. SREB s decision to develop school leadership training modules grew out of a clear need to fill this void. HOW THE SREB MODULES ARE STRUCTURED The nine core modules address using data to lead change; standards-based curriculum development; assessment and instruction; standards-driven student work; creating a school culture of high expectations; results-based professional development; literacy leadership; numeracy leadership; and leading change. Districts and schools using the modules to train school leadership teams to lead school improvement efforts are encouraged to begin with the nine core modules and progress to the other five modules as they determine their readiness for further training and development. The remaining five modules address creating a personalized learning environment; organizing the learning environment; building and leading effective teams; communicating effectively in a high-performing school; and coaching for school improvement. SREB s Leadership Curriculum Modules are organized around key learning objectives. The instructional design follows the principles of adult learning theory and the standards for professional learning established by the National Staff Development Council. Each module includes activities that engage participants in: completing prework designed to create anticipatory set; reading and discussing current research and literature on the topic; sharing prior knowledge and experiences; learning from case profiles; reflecting on current beliefs and practices in their own schools; practicing strategies, tools and processes; working in real school-based teams to solve problems that impede student achievement; reinforcing new knowledge and skills by completing take-home assignments between workshop sessions; and building portfolios to demonstrate application, extend learning and track progress. 2

4 SREB LEADERSHIP CURRICULUM MODULES Using Data to Lead Change. (Four days: 3+1) Schools that successfully improve student achievement do so by regularly using data to guide decisions about instruction, student support and professional development. Easy-to-use processes are taught and participants learn how the use of data is a vital part of the school improvement process. Prioritizing, Mapping and Monitoring the Curriculum. (Four days: 2+1+1) In a high-stakes testing world, this module helps schools keep their curriculum on target. Participants will learn the benefits of prioritizing, mapping and monitoring the curriculum and more deeply understand what we want students to learn, which learning is most important, and how to know if the curriculum is being taught. Leading Assessment and Instruction. (Five days: 2+1+2) Participants learn to link curriculum, assessment and instruction; effectively use assessment for learning strategies to improve learning; recognize good instruction; and use effective research-based instructional strategies, tools and processes to observe/study assessment and instruction. Meeting the Standards: Looking at Teacher Assignments and Student Work. (Three days: 2+1) Schools can adopt standards that ask students to learn at high levels, but classroom assignments often do not match the standards. Participants learn a process that schools can use to analyze teacher assignments and student work to determine if assignments really require students to do high-quality work that helps them meet the standards. Creating a High-performance Learning Culture. (Four days: 3+1) Schools cannot improve when the culture does not support school improvement. Often in the push to improve quickly, the school s culture is forgotten. Participants will learn what culture is and why it must be cultivated; what roles leaders play in growing the culture; and what tools and strategies are available to help leaders foster a culture that supports improvement, high expectations and the wellbeing of students. Providing Focused and Sustained Professional Development. (Four days: 2+2) Professional development is a powerful tool for changing schools, yet professional development is frequently done poorly and results in little or no positive change. Participants will examine the characteristics of professional development in high- and low-performing schools, learn how to structure successful learning for the staff, and learn how schools can create professional learning communities. Encouraging Students to Complete a Rigorous Curriculum: Personalizing the Learning Environment. (Three days: 2+1) When standards are raised, safety nets are necessary for students to achieve at higher levels. The components of effective extra help programs, how we help students successfully make transitions from one level of school to the next, and meaningful advisement that includes parents all contribute to a personal learning environment. Participants learn how to make schools customer friendly for learners. Organizing Time, Space, Staff and Resources to Improve Student Achievement. (Three days: 2+1) Participants learn how to use time more effectively for teaching, planning and professional learning, how the school staff can work together to improve learning and achievement, and how to organize space to match instruction. This module adds many practical tools and processes to the leadership tool box. Building and Leading Effective Teams. (Three days: 2+1) The heart of leadership is the willingness to assume responsibility. Schools that improve and sustain improvement use teams to lead school reform. A crying need exists for teachers to lead by taking more formal and explicit roles in the supervision and improvement of instruction. Participants will learn leadership skills and collaboration strategies; the parameters of team work; how to design and organize teams; and how to provide the training their groups will need to be effective. Communicating Effectively in a High-performing School. (Three days: 2+1) Effective communication is the key to an improving school community. Often the best intentions are sidetracked by poor communication. Participants will learn how to communicate effectively, decide who needs to know and why, how to involve people at the right times, and the impact that communication has on schools and quality instruction. Literacy Leadership. (Three days: 2+1) Literacy is a national problem that has become a top education priority for the federal government and for educators across the nation. School leaders must be able to recognize good literacy instruction and observe and conference with teachers about good literacy practices that include a whole set of complex reading, writing and language skills so students can handle a variety of texts they will encounter and produce throughout school and beyond. This module is designed to close the gap between what leaders know about literacy and what they must know to provide literacy leadership in schools. Numeracy Leadership. (Four days: 3+1) Obtaining and succeeding in the good jobs of today s economy require an ever-increasing breadth and depth of mathematical skills and concepts. School leaders must know how to recognize effective instruction in numeracy and encourage numeracy instruction across the curriculum. This module will help leaders close the gap between what they know about numeracy and what they must know to provide numeracy leadership in schools. Leading Change: Building and Maintaining a Focused Drive Toward Student Achievement. (Three days: 2+1) School leaders have gotten used to the idea that the only constant is change. Productive school leaders understand the forces that influence the change process and can direct these forces for continuous school improvement. Learn how to lead change rather than react to it. Coaching for School Improvement. (Two days) Schools undergoing transformational school improvement processes often need external coaches to help them through the process. Participants learn how to add value to various school improvement situations using a variety of strategies and techniques. Developing Internship Programs for School Leaders: A How-to Guide for University and School District Partners. (Two days) Internship programs that provide opportunities for aspiring principals to practice the leadership behaviors that are linked to increasing student achievement are an essential element of a quality principal preparation program. Participants work in university-district partnership teams to create partnership agreements. They are guided through their work by being asked to make a series of decisions. Throughout the module, participants are encouraged to develop high-quality internship programs, based on a review of the literature. Mentoring School Leaders in Competency-based Internships. (Three days: 2+1) Mentors are guides on an intern s journey, and the most effective mentors are those who engage in a process of discovery with their protégés. This program builds skills in administrators who are serving as mentors to aspiring principals. Participants will learn the roles, skills, processes and tools that effective mentors use to help develop school leaders who make a difference in student achievement. Fostering a Culture of High Performance: Changing Practice by Using Data. (Four days: 2+1+1) Improving student learning by changing classroom and school practices both requires and results in changes to a school s culture. Culture also impacts how and what improvements are made to benefit student learning. Data can be a powerful lever to explore inequity, expose systemic biases, and change beliefs and practices needed to improve the achievement of disenfranchised students. Participants will gain analytical tools to uncover the real problems that school leaders need to address to close success gaps in schools.
