Background:
|
MPS Equity Problem of Practice: MPS has neither consistently nor effectively engaged all of our students of color in an environment conducive to learning.
The Transformation Network is an innovative and differentiated approach of using an equitable lens to allocate district resources, supports, and opportunities based on the needs of students and staff in the district’s lowest performing schools. The vision is to transform persistently low performing schools into high performing schools by implementing rigorous academic and behavioral interventions as well as focused support for school leaders and staff.
The Transformation Network is divided into eight zones; schools within a zone are organized by grade level, school academic program focus, and level of school support needed.
The system of support for schools is comprised of an Instructional Superintendent or Instructional Leadership Director, Student Performance Coordinator, and an Innovation Coach. Zone teams are provided with training from the Center of Educational Leadership to establish common procedures and processes that ensure consistency in instructional leaders’ beliefs.
Key components of the work are centered around the following best practices that support school improvement:
• Continuous Improvement;
• Educator Effectiveness (Cycles of Feedback);
• Culture of Learning;
• Professional Development;
• Leading Teams; and
• Managing Partnerships
Cycles of Feedback (Educator Effectiveness) is a proven leadership practice that impacts school improvement. The practice focuses on growth through providing continual and specific feedback based upon evidence collected within the classroom observation. Effective use of the practice calls for collaboration between the observer and staff that is ongoing. Individual growth is dependent upon feedback; the implementation of cycles of feedback will grow and enhance the quality of instruction within classrooms, impacting the outcomes for students.
Shared vision and understanding supports the necessary shifts in supporting school leaders to be instructional leaders in MPS.
