Center for Leadership and Educational Equity

Center for Leadership and Educational Equity The Center for Leadership and Educational Equity is a Rhode Island non profit organization that trains, grows, and supports leaders for schools.

We believe the best way to learn is together and the best way to lead is by example; therefore, our programs engage leaders in professional learning communities that model best practices for staff development in schools. The Center currently runs two such programs for teacher and school leaders, the Principal Residency Network (PRN) and the Learning Leader Network (LLN). Download the Center’s News

We believe professional development should do more than just offer advice and suggestions. It should build educators’ capacity to think collaboratively, reflect deeply and apply high-quality instructional practices in ways that meet the needs of their students and teams. We engage educators in the same kinds of practices we encourage them to use in classrooms, faculty meetings and student support structures.

Introduction to Continuous Improvement is a flexible, online learning course designed to build capacity in the frameworks, tools, and mindsets required to lead cycles of improvement in your setting. Through seven course modules, participants learn how structured dialogue and guided inquiry create conditions for identifying and testing student-focused improvements. Each module offers practical strategies that can be applied immediately in professional learning settings to support instructional improvement and learner success. The course design allows for individual flexibility combined with collaborative learning. Participants work on weekly modules, on a cohort-paced schedule, and a CLEE facilitator and other participants respond to participant work.

Learning from Student Work remains one of the most important practices for improving instruction because it grounds improvement evidence from classrooms, not assumptions about learning. Student work offers insight into how students make meaning, where curriculum implementation succeeds and where improvement is needed. At Fall Meeting this year, we are reconnecting to the roots of this practice in the traditions of the School Reform Initiative, Looking at Student Work Collaborative and Harvard Project Zero. Fall Meeting Participants will engage in structured collaborative dialogue around student work as a source of inquiry, reflection and instructional learning while examining the relationship among teacher moves, student engagement and curriculum implementation.

Share student work at Fall Meeting for a discounted registration.
