Experience the Bilingual Bicultural Mini School’s multi-year improvement story as a window to the power of highly effective instructional leadership teams (ILTs) to increase student outcomes. This systems-thinking approach leverages ILTs as engines for school-wide and district-wide change. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to two mental models that were instrumental in quickly building ILT capacity to shift literacy outcomes for all students at this site, and will work through how to apply these generalizable models to high quality Tier 1 instruction.
