change is a constant in public education. these changes range from shifts in student demographics, and associated learning needs, shifts in curriculum standards (think common core), to broader shifts in public policy. consider how lyndon b. johnson’s war on poverty influenced how schools planned for meeting students’ nutritional needs, or the federal idea act, which required public school systems to provide free and equitable education. typically, the core rationale offered for such policy changes is to improve student outcomes (college and career readiness, achievement, attendance) and/or ensure our public education systems are preparing the next generation’s workforce. regardless of the type of change or the rationale for the change, one of the constants in school systems is that they struggle to achieve meaningful and lasting change.

what is the instructional leadership gap and how does it affect the learning outcomes of our students? i recently sat down with three district leaders, sean bulson, superintendent, hartford, (md) public schools, jerry boyd, superintendent of washington county (tn) schools, and portia slaughter, chief academic officer at harrisburg city (pa) school district to discuss these critical questions.

“congratulations!” this is a common note sent via email and shared on linkedin as so many of my friends and colleagues transition into the first year of their superintendency on july 1st. as i reflect on my 10+ years having the privilege of working alongside district leaders and observing what works and where some have experienced pitfalls, i want to share some thoughts on the importance of building your leadership bench.
