| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
| <p>Over the program year, New Leaders will monitor and track changes in participant leadership development that will lead to stronger student achievement outcomes over time. Table 2 outlines end-of-year program outcomes.</p> <p>Table 1. Participant Outcomes at the End of the Program Year</p> <p>Regional Superintendents and Chiefs will be able to:</p> <p>● Create a culture of collective efficacy across the system that drives equitable and excellent student achievement</p> <p>● Create, implement, and monitor systems and structures that support capacity-building in principal development and provide evidence to assess performance of principals in driving school-wide improvement and student achievement, through:</p> <p>o Collaborative Planning</p> <p>o Observation & Feedback</p> <p>o Professional Learning</p> <p>● Continuously reflect on personal leadership, instructional leadership practices, and system-wide data to identify highest-leverage priorities, monitor and adjust strategy so that principals receive what they need to reach their full potential, and manage the change process</p> <p>● Use various data points to drive staffing, resource, and master scheduling decisions</p> <p>Program Components</p> <p>The following program components provide an overview of the content and delivery for all participants. The components describe job-embedded services to be delivered either on-site and/or virtually. </p> <p>Program Launch (up to two days). Our two-day program launch will provide participants with a deep dive into the essential elements of breakthrough leadership practices that have been shown to dramatically improve student learning outcomes. Using the Transformational Leadership Framework (TLF), participants will redefine the work of senior leaders and identify how efficacy and personal leadership—including race, bias, and equity-focused practices—impact school and system cultures.</p> <p>Participants will engage in a four-part action-planning process that will drive their year-long work: 1) diagnose; 2) prioritize; 3) set goals, strategy, and action plan; and 4) manage, evaluate, and adjust the plan. By engaging in this work, ideally over the summer, we prepare senior leaders with a new mental model for what success looks like in their roles across Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS).</p> <p>Community of Practice (up to seven one-day sessions). Up to seven, day-long community of practice sessions will enable participants to learn, practice, and demonstrate proficiency in critical leadership skills that will prepare them to be effective leaders of schools and systems. Using the TFL as a guide, participants will develop systems-thinking, strengthen decision-making processes, and build new systems and structures to drive impact. Sessions will focus on goal setting and action-planning; college and career readiness standards; and coaching to improve principal practice.</p> | |
