Thanks, Tony Borash for sharing this. From the video, "What it has helped us do it connect our practices to our purpose." (Mike Crawford). That seems like such a common-sense approach, but we've all seen so many organizations in education in which everyday practices are not only disconnected from purpose, but often diametrically opposed to purpose. Darden's success with "training superintendents like CEO's" raises questions about WHO we are recruiting to lead schools. Some districts have seen success with non-educators at the helm and yet the majority of superintendents started as teachers. Is that necessary? #superintendents #leadership #education https://lnkd.in/g3VsDU67

From improving student performance to assessing the superintendent’s leadership, school boards have many different responsibilities. To do this job well, what should school board members be focusing on and what should they be avoiding?

Although critical to student success, strong school leader retention alone won’t ensure educational equity for all. Developing a robust leadership pipeline is equally important — especially when it comes to providing adequate representation within the school building. To this end, perhaps no other team member plays a more important role than the AP. But when it comes to effectively understanding and developing these leaders, there are often more questions than answers. For an in-depth look at topics including the specifics of the role, APs’ capacity to influence academic achievement, and how we can help align them for long-term success, read The Wallace Foundation's “The Role of Assistant Principals: Evidence and Insights for Advancing School Leadership” report now. https://lnkd.in/g42fGNkm
