Implementation Tips

 The report recommends three strategies for bringing about change:

  • Involve those who hold a stake in reform in crafting policy. That builds buy-in.
  • Couple mandates with adequate support.  That increases the odds that those held to new expectations can meet them.  
  • Use school leadership reform as a strategy to support higher-profile education priorities. This could include state or national efforts to improve teaching or learning.
