Leadership Strategizing and Planning
A private working space for superintendents, cabinets, and boards.
Improving student performance districtwide is a leadership problem before it is a classroom problem. This is where that leadership work begins.
01
District leaders will sign in to a private planning space and think through an engagement on their own terms: describe the district and its instructional priorities, identify how many administrators and coaches need training, and work through the components of the GDS framework — Collective Efficacy, instructional leadership, The Science of Reading, Systematic Explicit Instruction with the mastery gate, and comprehensive coaching — as they apply to that district’s situation.
02
At the end of the process, the system assembles a draft engagement plan. Every plan is reviewed, shaped, and approved by a GDS principal consultant, today Founder & Principal Consultant Gary D. Soto, before it returns to the district. Nothing is committed by a machine.
03
If the timing or funding cycle isn’t right this year, the work is not discarded. The plan is retained and revisited when the district is ready.
