Learning to Lead: Districts Collaborate to Strengthen Principal Practices
Psencik, Kay; Brown, Frederick
Learning Professional, v39 n3 p48-53 Jun 2018
This article describes a learning partnership between district or county leaders and school leaders to create a system of principal professional learning that came to life in principal learning communities across a district or multiple-district region. For more than a decade, Learning Forward has engaged with district-level leaders as learning partners. Partners' efforts focus not only on improving support for principals, but also on changing the role of district and county leaders. District and school leaders have shifted their relationship from compliance to collaboration, moving closer to sharing a vision of themselves as a learning community and developing collective responsibility for the success of all learners. While there is great diversity of ideas and varying degrees of successful implementation, common elements of support include: (1) Creating conditions for learning; (2) Taking a systematic approach to learning; (3) Engaging in principal professional learning communities; (4) Focusing on a problem of practice through a complete cycle of continuous improvement; and (5) Assessing impact.
