  1. School Educational Leadership Enhancement Committee Task Force SELECT Dr. Paul O. Burns, Deputy Chancellor for Educator Quality Dr. Robert Shockley, Professor and Chair, Florida Atlantic University

  2. Meeting Outcomes • Presentation on SELECT and the Report • Major Findings • Recommendations • Dialogue • Q&A • Next Steps

  3. SELECT Committee and Report • Work by the School Educational Leadership Enhancement Committee Task Force (SELECT) • Part of the University Principal Preparation Initiative (UPPI) partnership between the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) and Florida Atlantic University (FAU). • SELECT’s mission : craft a vision; recommend and support the continuous development of educational leaders

  4. Vision for Educational Leadership & Learning Florida’s cultural, economic and civic vitality rests on the success of its public education system to prepare all children to achieve at high levels and reach their full potential. This success depends on a Continuum of Leaders model. Therefore, it is imperative that the State, school districts, schools, and universities prioritize and collaborate on the sustained development and support of a Continuum of Leaders model including teacher leaders, assistant principals, principals, school district and state leaders. Florida’s vision of educational leadership is to create and sustain an efficient world-class education system through active, collaborative, ongoing, and mutually accountable partnerships among school districts, institutions of higher education, and the Florida Department of Education to identify, prepare, develop, and support leaders of education.

  5. SELECT Findings PRINCIPAL LEADERSHIP STANDARDS CONTINUUM OF LEADERS MODEL COACHING PARTNERSHIPS LEADERSHIP TRACKING SYSTEM

  6. Primary Recommendation Adopt the Vision for Educational Leadership and Learning. Key vision elements: • Continuum of Leadership model • Partnerships • Course content and clinical experience requirements

  7. Resultant Initiatives / Recommendations • Florida Principal Leadership Standards • Continuum of Leaders Model • Partnerships • Leader Tracking Systems Data Sources

  8. 1. Review / Revise Florida Principal Leadership Standards • Align the FPLS with the current national trends and standards - i.e. NPBEA’s approved Professional Standards for Educational Leadership (PSEL) • Inform program approval standards using National Educational Leadership Preparation standards (NELPS) • Investigate the distinctions between different levels of leadership and the need for differentiated standards

  9. 2. Continuum of Leaders Model • Adopt a Continuum of Leaders Model for educational leadership development in Florida • Develop and implement a certification and/or microcredential process aligned with the proposed Continuum

  10. Initiatives from Continuum of Leaders Model • Development and implementation of robust clinical residency experiences • Create networks of similar school districts thru leadership learning hubs • Implement model thru policy, resource support, and technical assistance • Implement a state-wide design for coaching

  11. 3. Partnerships • Advance school district – IHEs – FDOE partnerships • Urban/suburban districts and IHEs • Rural school districts, IHEs, and Regional Education Consortia • FDOE – school district – IHEs mentoring and support programs • Transform school district agencies and FDOE from compliance-monitoring to service/support providers

  12. 4. Leader Tracking Systems • Incentivize and support the development and maintenance of databases needed for leadership tracking systems that facilitate leadership succession planning and pipeline infrastructure

  13. Risks • Gap between research and the ideals articulated in state and national professional standards, and what is currently practiced • Pockets of excellence in Florida operating in silos • Individuals serving in roles for which they are ill-equipped and likely to falter • Increasing rates of school leader turnover, especially in underperforming schools • Need for statewide consistency and risk of neglecting contextual differences (i.e. rural, urban, suburban)

  14. Opportunities • “Programs of Excellence” including Hillsborough, Broward, Western Kentucky, and Tennessee • Best practices around the development of a Continuum of Leaders model learned from FAU and 3 partnering districts • Coaching models and LTS models within the state provide exemplars • Resources: • Quality Measures tools • Existing budget line items • Federal/State/Foundation Grants • ESSA • Funded Legislative Initiatives

  15. On behalf of SELECT, we commend and thank the Commissioner of Education and the Florida Department of Education for looking to focus school improvement on leadership. Thank you.
