The University of Maryland “School Improvement Leadership Academy” (SILA) will serve as a Case Study for this session’s exploration of how to build a pipeline of improvers from the principal and assistant principal ranks across Maryland. SILA faculty will showcase how they utilized a “braided” curriculum to help administrators unpack the intersectionality of three concepts - equity, instruction, and improvement. Additionally, the session will provide participants with the opportunity to sample and apply two or more of the improvement-science based tools which were introduced through the Academy to transform traditional school improvement planning into equity-focused continuous improvement.
