Join us for the first conversation in Evidence to Action Coffee Chats, a new virtual series from Washington University’s Institute for School Partnership (ISP) and the Center for Education Research, Practice, and Policy Partnerships (CERP3).
Thursday, October 29, 9:30am
Virtual
Each Coffee Chat starts with a short, practical brief or tool developed through partnership work, then turns the conversation over to practitioners who use that evidence in schools. The aim is to make research usable — distilling findings down to what works, what doesn’t, and what it takes to act on it.
This session centers on the ISP best practices brief ‘Leadership Practices to Improve Content Delivery and Increase Student Achievement’, which looks at how instructional leaders create a learning-focused culture, support high-quality instructional practice, and allocate resources, systems, and processes in service of teaching and learning. The brief grew out of a school leadership project co-led by the ISP and the Center for Education Leadership at the St. Louis Community Foundation.
