Leaders change things that need to be changed.
Good schools are better by design.
Leaders enroll others in a compelling vision of the future and help break massive redesign or reform efforts into manageable chunks of work. To have a districtwide, united vision to help all students achieve requires leadership at every level, from the classroom to the superintendent s office. The foundation s State Challenge Grants for Leadership Development seek to help every school leader create an education system that fosters high achievement. Announced in March, the grants aim to improve access to quality leadership development and technology training for all school leaders. Texas was among the first states to apply for a leadership development grant.
