Executive leaders play a vital role in creating the conditions for their organizations to develop the capacity for system-wide continuous improvement. The Carnegie Foundation’s publication Transforming Educational Systems Toward Continuous Improvement: A Reflection Guide for K–12 Leaders describes three domains of leadership for system-wide continuous improvement: dispositions, practices, and system levers. Participants will utilize a reflection tool grounded in the guide’s content to assess the current state of their leadership and their organization and hear key insights from two former superintendents on how to lead this kind of work. To participate fully in this session, participants should read the guide prior to joining.
