Lead by Learning: Rewire Systems for Participatory Change

Why do different school systems using the same strategies get wildly disparate results? Leaders whose systems have strong outcomes and shrinking opportunity and achievement gaps rewire how their systems work to treat daily operations as chances to get ever better. Learn from school and system leaders how – using a research-based leadership approach that advances continuous improvement – they transform top down structures into dynamic collaborative hives of activity that help them make decisions, solve problems, and implement services that give each student what they need when they need it.
