1. Distributed Leadership draws change out of staff rather than driving reform through them

2. A net with no nanny – networks – schools connecting with schools – district to district - district is too small to be the unit of change

3. Responsibility before accountability (accountability is the small remainder that is left once responsibility has been subtracted)

4. Build from the bottom, steer broadly from the top around a limited number of things

12 components of an ELE

1. Outcomes are clear to the student.

3. Where are students relative to the outcome…a pre-

assessment phase?

10. Final evaluation based on authentic compilation of

assessment devices.

5. Revisit outcomes to think about Instructional design. (Learning styles, complexity of outcome, hidden skills, etc.)

2. What evidence will show that students have met the

outcomes?

11. A plan to assist students when the outcome is not being met… a new course of action.

4. What does good learning look like? (Rubrics and exemplars)

6. Selection of input structure for new knowledge.

7. Giving students an opportunity to interact with new knowledge.

8. Giving students an opportunity to experiment or use new knowledge.

9. Constant assessment feedback so students can modify learning efforts.

12. Classroom structure, peer relationships, culture of school and student strategies for their more independent or collaborative learning .
