Summary
The purpose of this bill is to initiate a comprehensive transformation in school leadership through a process that includes broad stakeholder input under the State Board of Education to assist it in developing recommendations to the Legislature and the Governor. To guide this work, the bill includes findings on the strong leadership observed in high quality schools that develop a climate and culture of shared beliefs and values among the staff, shared responsibility for results and high expectations for all. The findings also discuss various approaches to reward excellent teaching, provide time necessary for excellent teachers to lead instructional improvement, and enable excellent teachers to advance in their teaching careers and compensation in instructional leadership positions without leaving the classroom completely. Areas for consideration for recommendations to the Governor and Legislature include the role and responsibilities of principals for instructional improvement with corresponding changes in preparation, support and tools needed to succeed; authentic opportunities for teachers to lead instructional improvement and receive additional compensation as teacher leaders; the pipeline for leadership development; and the support systems and school-level flexibility required under the new leadership model. This section is new; therefore, it has been completely underscored.
