This brief from the Center on School Turnaround summarizes May and June 2018 Thought Leadership Forum presentations.

In May, WestEd’s Kevin Perks discussed Visibly Improving Teaching and Learning (VITAL), a service designed to build teachers’ capacity for collaboration focused on teacher and student learning.

June featured joint presentations by Suzi Mast and Tracy Fazio of the Arizona Department of Education, and by Pam Betten and Steve Holmes of the Sunnyside School District in Tucson, Arizona, profiling their work in formative assessment.

The brief concludes with recommendations for state and local education agencies for implementing instructional transformation.
