Leveraged Leadership – A Systems Approach to Moving Schools
Leveraged Leadership is a PLC Signature Program. This is a high-impact, full-year program designed to give school leaders the specific competencies to impact teaching and learning, and establish the structures, practices, and systems that drive student achievement and school success.
There are three levels, so that the district may benefit from complete, guaranteed implementation.
Level 1: Building Foundations
Level 2: Digging Deeper
Level 3: Sustaining Systems
We assign a PLC Coach to your school for the purposes of building capacity of your school leadership team. Leveraged Leadership occurs over a six month period of half day sessions. We will help your school leaders conduct targeted walkthroughs, engage in high-impact coaching conversations with staff, and become experts in the essential research and best practices that support excellence in instruction. This is a game changer for driving school-wide improvements.
