This professional learning module, developed through a partnership between the Center on Great Teachers and Leaders, the Center on School Turnaround, Public Impact, and the University of Virginia Darden/Curry Partnership for Leaders in Education, provides state and district leaders with tools to coach and develop school turnaround leaders to take key leader actions.
Participants will:
- Understand the connection between turnaround leader competencies and the actions of successful turnaround principals and leadership teams.
- Learn strategies for coaching and developing turnaround principals and supporting implementation of key turnaround leader actions.
