Funded by the National Science Foundation, the Distributed Leadership for Middle School Mathematics Education project has as its goal to make the day-to-day practice of school leadership for instruction more transparent by examining how school leaders – administrators, specialists, and teacher leaders – work to manage and improve instruction.
The Educational Leadership Collaboratory, which is funded by the Carnegie Corporation, builds on the work of Jim Spillane and introduces school leaders to the distributed leadership perspective, identifies ways to put it into practice and identifies ways to use this knowledge to create a community of practice that will foster improved teaching and learning.
The primary objective of the NISL project is to assess the effects of principal participation in the National Institute for School Leadership professional development program. Working in conjunction with the Consortium for Policy Research in Education, the evaluation will focus on areas that are thought to support instructional improvement, particularly connections between principals’ practices, improvements in teachers’ practices, and gains in student achievement.
With the support of the Searle Fund for Policy Research, the focus of the Educational Excellence and Equity study is to examine the ways teachers’ motivation, support and knowledge are related to the type and organization of the school.
The Distributed Leadership for Elementary School Leadership study was a longitudinal study of urban school leadership funded by the National Science Foundation and by the Spencer Foundation in collaboration with people from the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University. This study was designed to explore and understand leadership as a practice of instructional improvement and to examine the relations between leadership practice and teachers' classroom work
