SRN LEADS/Stanford University: School Redesign Network — Leadership, Equity & Accountability in Districts & Schools

Upcoming Events

Hillsdale Study Visits 2010-11

October 4-5
January 24-25
February 14-15

Hillsdale High School, an SLC located in the San Francisco Bay Area, is an excellent example of a teacher-led redesign effort guided by a commitment to providing more students, particularly students of color, with access to college. In 2003, with equity as a major cornerstone, Hillsdale’s staff began a process to reorganize their school of approximately 1,200 students into SLCs of 400 students each. Hillsdale’s redesign efforts have built teachers’ capacity to take on leadership roles and have dramatically increased the rates of students attending college. The school was one of the four schools featured in the SRN film and case study, Windows on Conversions, which will be used as a resource during the Study Visit. Read more.

 

educational leadership on the cutting edge

 

"Educational leadership is a far more challenging occupation than it used to be. In order to create high-performing schools and the districts that support them, today's leaders must understand organizational theory and management principles just as thoroughly as educational theory and practice. LEADS is structured not just to bring that knowledge to the table, but to help leaders create tangible action plans and to use the collective expertise of the network to put those plans into place."

— Linda Darling-Hammond, SRN Co-executive Director and Stanford University Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education
