  13. Human Capacity Development One of our core principles is to expand the capacity of all organization we work with. Expanding leadership capacity and professional development is the critical issue facing states, districts, CMOs and schools today. In order to leverage and sustain improvement, schools will need to: find ways to strengthen teaching and learning, expand and improve professional development, utilize data to inform and improve instruction, and engage stakeholders. Through a reflective and ethical balancing of priorities focused on improving student achievement for all students in order to secure a viable 21st century and beyond

  24. Academic Success for all Students Improved student performance depends on strengthening three legs of an instructional tripod: Relationships Content Pedagogy What should we teach? Does each teacher have deep knowledge of the curriculum? Are we a community? Do students and teachers care about, inspire, and motivate each other? How should we teach? Does each teacher use effective instructional techniques?
