Fostering Student Growth and Collective Teacher Efficacy Through Strategic Staffing Models
Friday December 11, 2026 10:00am - 10:50am EST
In a full scale redesign on instructional leadership K-12, MSAD 11 partnered with Great Schools Partnership and Public Impact to actively shift the adult learning culture, redefine collaborative practice, and achieve our intended community-developed mission. After an extensive planning phase, including stakeholder engagement, strategic budgeting, and reallocation of staff, we are seeing promising gains. Collective efficacy is no longer a catch phrase, but a reality. We'll share the formal avenues and structures for transformational instructional leadership we've implemented and the results we are seeing, including reduced burden on staff, increased creativity and stronger community connections across our system.
