In this session, recent Doctor of Education (EdD) graduates share their research and its practical implications for school leadership. 1) Have you ever wondered what it takes to maximize student growth in a grade level with vastly different student needs? One school asked this very question and sought to find a hybrid solution between tracking and mixed-ability classrooms that would meet the needs of all students. Come find out what they learned from this improvement science case study that focused on accelerating recovery of disrupted learning using a strategy called flexible grouping. 2) Distributing leadership in rural schools is critical for administrator survival. Can giving leadership responsibilities to teachers actually improve their satisfaction and reduce burnout as well?
