School leaders often recognize the importance of using data to guide instruction, but many struggle with building systems that consistently translate data into improved student outcomes. This session will focus on how instructional leaders can design and implement structures that support teacher collaboration, data-driven decision making, and targeted intervention in both middle and high school settings.
Participants will explore practical strategies for creating effective instructional leadership teams, implementing short data cycles, strengthening RTI systems, and coaching teachers to respond to student learning needs. The session will include real examples of how these systems were implemented to increase student growth, strengthen instruction, and improve overall academic performance.
Attendees will leave with actionable ideas and leadership strategies they can immediately apply in their own middle or high school to build strong instructional systems and drive student success.
* These systems were used to support a school improvement effort that increased overall student performance, letter grade from a C to a B and strengthened instructional alignment across departments.
