Las Vegas, Nevada, December 7–8, 2015
Join McREL’s Kathleen Dempsey, Kent Davis, and Terri Bissonette for these three workshop sessions at the 32nd annual NIISA conference:
School Leadership Teams | What happens when school leadership teams use data, embrace school challenges, and build collective efficacy? Students benefit, staff are empowered, and schools reach improvement goals. Join this session to learn how schools across South Dakota are using tools and processes in South Dakota’s school improvement process, SD LEAP – Leading Effectively Achieving Progress, to reach improvement goals.
Why Didn’t This Work? | The school invested in an intervention that was backed by research and provided the needed professional development for staff. So why didn’t the intervention yield the positive student outcomes that were envisioned? Join this session to learn keys to monitoring and supporting implementation that can help teachers improve their practice and students achieve at higher levels.
The Secret Sauce – Collective Efficacy | Once a school identifies an improvement goal, how can leaders rally stakeholders and maintain momentum for school improvement efforts—build a purposeful community. Join this session to learn how purposeful communities differ from other professional learning communities and how the “secret sauce” of collective efficacy can be developed to maximize outcomes.
