The Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement framework organizes the issues state, district, and school leaders should consider when planning for a successful and sustainable turnaround: turnaround leadership, talent management, instructional transformation, and culture shift.
Join us for this engaging webinar series to unpack specific practices, tools, and resources designed to help you address the improvement needs in your state, district, and school. Each webinar aligns to a specific domain.
Staffing School Improvement: Systemic Talent Management
Date & Time: To be announced
Research shows that rapid school improvement requires competent and committed personnel at every level of the system — especially in the classroom. In this webinar, participants will learn about the Center on School Turnaround’s multi-part professional learning experience, designed to help state and local education agencies craft comprehensive plans for recruiting, developing, retaining, and sustaining teachers involved in rapid school improvement efforts.
Presenter Caitlin Beatson will highlight aspects of the professional learning experience that focus on identifying and prioritizing specific competencies and using them to select and develop teachers for turnaround contexts.
Registration details to be announced.
Aligning to the Four Domains Framework: School Improvement for Students with Disabilities
Date & Time: Mar 7, 2019; 11:00 am (Pacific)
The WestEd Special Education Collaborative Team recognizes that struggling schools, along with the many local and state efforts to support their improvement, are challenged to make dramatic and sustainable improvements that will positively impact all students, including students with disabilities.
In this webinar, WestEd’s Dona Meinders and Michele Rovins will describe how to maximize your efforts to support the needs of students with disabilities.
Providing High Quality Options: Supporting Charter School Improvement
Date & Time: May 7, 2019; 11:00 am (Pacific)
There are significant benefits to students and families when improvements in schools succeed. Charter schools are no different. In this webinar, state policymakers, charter school authorizers, and charter school boards learn about how to assess whether a low-performing charter school is a good candidate for rapid improvement rather than closure.
WestEd’s Robin Chait, Aimee Evan, and Bob Rosenfeld will draw on research and practice to illustrate how the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement framework was used to rapidly improve a chronically low-performing charter school.
