Description
We believe in a future where every kid who goes to any school has a positive and successful learning experience. We must develop leaders who run schools that work for every child- where students belong, where they learn, and where their voice matters. PIVOT: School Improvement Leaders prepares leaders who are:
-High performing, with deep technical knowledge base
-Innovative thinkers who understand the demands of 21st century education
-Optimistic, inspiring, people that others believe in and want to follow
-Empathetic, self-aware, believes in the potential and perspective of others
-Resilient, gritty, and energized by complex challenges

To develop these leaders, we imagine a program with the following components:
--Targeted, Tailored Learning:
-Summer institute:
-Monthly meetings
-Ongoing assessment
-Individualized coaching

--Perspective Building.
-School visits
-Case studies
-Empathy interviews

--360 Alignment
-Clear program / contract expectations
-Regular reporting / reflection

Long-term Success
Lagging indicators:
-Overall student growth
-Overall student achievement
-Student subgroup growth
-Student subgroup achievement

Our leaders will stay longer than leaders at other comparable schools in their districts and states. We want to focus on the idea of doubling average leader tenure- moving from 2 to 4 years. Potential goal: 80% of our leaders stay in their schools for 4 or more years. The nuance and complexity inherent in this potential goal is a challenge given the many reasons that people leave.
