Students across our nation have inequitable access to high-quality school leaders. Learning Policy Institute’s report on how states develop strong leaders to support teachers and close educational opportunity gaps for students offers a great resource for policymakers and education leaders. #SchoolLeadership #DevelopingLeaders #TeacherSupport #EducationLeadersMatter #EducationEquity
Effective educational leaders are important for student and teacher success, yet leaders’ access to high-quality professional learning varies widely. Many states have built infrastructures to support leadership development and meet the professional learning needs of their educational leaders. For states interested in developing new, or improving existing, leadership development initiatives, these examples can inform program design or suggest future opportunities for programmatic refinement and expansion.

Many districts are scrambling both to recruit new teachers and to retain existing ones, which can be especially difficult in urban areas. When teachers feel prepared to face the challenges of today’s classrooms, they are more inclined to remain in the classroom, thus improving retention rates. This brief describes how the University of the District of Columbia prepares teacher candidates so that they are ready and willing to teach and stay in the local school system. https://lnkd.in/gqJ-mptj #EdPrepLab Bank Street Graduate School of Education
