This week, we dig into how district leaders can recruit and retain a talented, diverse pool of principals. Plus: An unthinkable tragedy shows the limitations of school safety efforts. Hiring great principalsâand helping them stick around A career-minded superintendent Young voters' mid-term turnout The best intentions at the district level don't mean much if individual schools aren't managed well. A 5-year project from the George W. Bush Institute sought to determine what policies and practices helped districts retain great school leaders. Recruiting a diverse pool of principals is also key, found leaders of the Eden Prairie school district in Minnesota. The suburban school system has worked for years to ensure its administrators reflect its student body, about half of which are students of color. What district leaders learned: In the Bush Institute project, principals were surveyed regularly to determine how changes in policies and compensation affected them. How principals felt about their evaluations, job satisfaction, and their schoolsâ climate and culture were big predictors of whether they stayed in their roles, the surveys found. Pay mattered to principals, but so did autonomy and a sense of feeling valued, they said. Nearly half of Eden Prairie's principals and associate principals are people of color, up from 18 percent 5 years ago. The district's strategy includes 7 affinity groups for school leadersâincluding for Black men, Black women, white women, white men, Asian-American women, and bi-racial peopleâto help members of those groups find support among their peers. Districts have worked for years to overhaul reading instruction, with the goal of boosting studentsâ literacy. But has the importance of structured writing instruction gotten lost along the way Research suggests that writing can enhance students' foundational reading skills and knowledge of how words and sentences work. Some districts are tackling this head on, embedding writing throughout their curriculum. One of those districts is in Sumner County, Tenn., where educators have seen hopeful results. Curriculum leaders shared their experience as part of a special report that dives deep into how writing instruction fits into the science of reading. The takeaways: Reading comprehensionâunlike foundational skills such as phonicsâtakes years to build. As they identify words, students need to know a lot in order to make sense of what they read, so they have to be introduced to content systematically. It took Sumner County teachers time to get used to the fact that there wasnât going to be a single standard mastered at a time. Instead, instruction touches on several standards in a week, and students work to master them over time. When districts begin implementing structured writing instruction, itâs useful to ask teachers to follow the curriculum exactly as designed for a while before personalizing lessons, Sumner County leaders said. Along with improved test scores, Sumner County studentsâ confidence has increased, both in their academics and in general, leaders say. Theyâre getting used to talking about what they see and how things make them feel, and theyâre grounding that in knowledge that theyâve acquired. click here to Unsubscribe from this mail
