Inside Out Change
Creating inside out change is dependent upon identifying the “root of the root” causes and strategically developing and organizing conditions. The most powerful way to improve outcomes for students is when the adults who are immersed in the policy and practice of education systems collaborate, always placing students at its core.
I’m often asked, “How will educators know whether what they are doing in the classroom is effective?” The answer is straightforward yet ambitious.
When professionals work together in collaboration rather than isolation, and analyze the same sets of data in a strength-based System of Support ©, embedding comprehensive improvement at the district and school levels organically becomes part of improving the process and practice.
Using a collaborative team structure enables teachers, principals, superintendents and policy-makers to identify key practices that will yield the greatest desired effects on student learning. When those key practices, or causal inputs that have emerged from the deep root analysis, are coupled with intentionally aligned resources (human, fiscal, material), students’ academic and social-emotional learning will be proactively supported.
When you’re ready to improve your district or school improvement process, I invite you to contact me for a powerful, free resource that has been proven at federal, state and local education levels in producing the best data to get to the “root of the root” causes.
Contact me today for this free resource and I’ll gladly share my Equity Audit© and System of Support©, filled with details and pointers of what’s holding school districts back from achieving radical excellence.
