iLEAD is a growing national network of district-university partnerships seeking to support local education agencies (LEAs) and institutions of higher education (IHEs) in their use of continuous improvement methods to develop leaders and educators to address persistent problems of practice. In this session, iLEAD members will share tools, reflections, and guidance based on their efforts to build and sustain productive collaborations to achieve more equitable opportunities and outcomes in schools. The session will introduce participants to iLEAD’s new edited volume, and how it can serve as a resource for those seeking more coordinated and mutually-beneficial IHE-LEA partnerships
