School districts are at the crux of our American system of education. View this webinar to discover how 18 California school districts have developed and implemented improvement plans leading to increased student achievement.

This archived webinar provides an overview of WestEd’s report, Effective District Planning and the Required LEA Plan: Insights from Successful Districts.

The webinar highlights how these districts successfully manage their own locally developed goals and practices, while following state and federal mandates, to create a coherent process that results in an effective plan for improving student achievement.

While the study is based on California school districts, the strategies discussed can apply to schools and districts across the nation.
