Rethinking Strategy in Light of International
Evidence

●
Successful district efforts recognize that change can’t occur in all dimensions of a
person’s work simultaneously
●
Create the expectation: system-wide changes can occur in certain domains, and
over time, these changes can reach progressively more content areas and more
teaching
●
Create enough models of good practice to guide learning at every layer of the
system

Support and sustain teachers in genuine, results-oriented teams rather than just
“groups”
Teacher teams engage in an ongoing process in
which “educators work collaboratively in
recurring cycles of collective inquiry and action
research to achieve better results for the
students they serve.”
