High-Performing Districts: Best Practices
- Develop teacher buy-in, “train-the trainer model”
- Capitalize on strengths, address student underperformers and staff that is unable or unwilling to embrace changes
- Move from “what’s in it for me?” confrontation to find a collaborative common ground and focus on what needs to be done
- No “one size fits all” approach, but tailored to local needs
