Transforming Schools: Shared Leadership, Equity and Evidence

A principal shares the successful turnaround story in an elementary school serving students from low-income, primarily Latino homes in San Francisco. He emphasizes the powerful role principals have in school reform and explains how their shared leadership approach and results-oriented cycle of inquiry process dramatically improved student performance over a 13-year period. Concrete examples illustrate how this approach engages key constituents: teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, parents, community members, businesses leaders, and students themselves.
