Distributed Leadership and Teacher Leader Development

Data that reflects how well a school supports and empowers teachers to take on leadership roles and work collaboratively to improve student learning.

Schools with strong distributed leadership foster a culture of trust, teamwork, and professional growth among staff. This includes having dedicated teams, such as Instructional Leadership, teacher teams, and Behavior Health Teams, who help guide school improvements. The district supports these efforts with training, coaching, resources and professional development opportunities, ensuring that teachers and staff can grow in their roles, improve the adult culture and positively impact students’ daily learning experiences.
