Eliminating the achievement gap: SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES FROM THE GROUND UP

Part of the development of leadership practice included learning how to analyze instruction using CEL's 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learningä instructional framework and the 5D+ä Rubric for Instructional Growth and Teacher Evaluation.School and district leaders learned how to engage in inquiry cycles to both support and deepen the adult learning necessary to address the identified problem of practice, with the ultimate goal to eliminate the achievement gap.[...]of these partnerships with a wide range of practitioners from across the country, CEL has developed specific tools to support the learning and practice of educational leaders to continuously refine and improve student learning, instructional practice and instructional leadership.Resources available online from the University of Washington Center for Educational Leadership include the following: ?¢ 4 Dimensions of instructional leadership ™: Instructional leadership framework version 2.0 (2015): http:// info.k-12leadership.org/4-dimensionsof- instructional-leadership. ?¢ 5 Dimensions of teaching and learning ™: Instructional framework version 4.0 (2012): http://info.k-12leadership. org/5-dimensions-of-teaching-andlearning. ?¢ 5D+™ rubric for instructional growth and teacher evaluation (2016): http:// info.k-12leadership.org/5d-teacherevaluation- rubric. ?¢ Instructional leadership inquiry cycle tool: A tool to assist principal supervisors to support principals as instructional leaders, version 1.0 (2015): http:// info.k-12leadership.org/instructionalleadership- inquiry-cycle-tool-intro. -
