You can’t underestimate the power of gemba. This one will be worth it. Go see what over a decade of focus on organizational excellence principles can lead to. You won’t be dissappointed.

What Does the Research Tell Us About Teacher Leadership? Quote, "What is clear from this study is that traditional forms of management must be modified to be more horizontal and less hierarchical for teacher leadership to flourish. In a time that demands a higher standard of annual progress for all students, it seems prudent to encourage and foster teacher leadership by providing the resources, culture, and structures it needs to thrive. Drawing on the resourcefulness of experienced teachers and allowing them to facilitate school improvement is one way to ensure the sustainability of school reform efforts."

Many leaders of color, myself included, were recruited to teaching positions through a district’s relationship with the HBCUs we attended. 🗣This is an opportunity many school leaders miss. HBCUs have long played a vital role in fostering academic excellence, leadership development, and cultural awareness within the Black community. Leveraging these institutions to build a more diverse teaching workforce can be an effective strategy. Many graduates from HBCUs are not only academically qualified but also bring a rich cultural perspective that adds depth to the educational experience. This strategy can contribute to breaking down barriers and addressing the underrepresentation of teachers of color in the education system. It aligns with broader goals of promoting inclusivity, equity, and cultural competency within schools, benefiting both educators and students alike. How might your school district actively explore and capitalize on the untapped potential of HBCUs to cultivate a more diverse teaching workforce for the benefit of educators and students? #schoolleaders #edleadership #whenbrowngirlslead

In our latest brief, we find that the key to transformative leadership is critical reflection within supportive professional communities. Our study draws on the scholarship and theory around these topics, and on our interviews with school leaders serving economically and socially marginalized communities in California.
