Develop a rationale behind your strategies and articulate your thinking by generating an evidence-based story that explains the specific changes you intend to make to improve teaching and learning.
School leaders must have a clear idea of what good instruction looks like. To have a lasting impact, instructional leaders must also know why they are making certain instructional decisions.
The Creating a Theory of Action Tool, which draws on CEL’s 4 Dimensions of School Leadership™ and 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning™ frameworks, helps educators develop a rationale behind the strategies they choose and articulate the thinking behind their decisions.
This 10-page tool will also help to:
- Develop a well-articulated understanding of what motivates students, teachers, and leaders
- Make your leadership the core of the theory of action
- Create an evidence-based rationale for all parts of the theory
- Identify supports needed to drive principal practice changes
