Bank Street Education Center Launches District-Wide Instructional Initiative Framework

Through research and experience implementing large scale school district reform, the Bank Street Education Center has identified four fundamental components necessary to strategically plan supports that aid districts in creating, strengthening, and monitoring learning conditions that empower teachers and school leaders to improve instructional practices within and across schools. This new tool provides educators with a closer look at how these four components—leadership vision and commitment; change management structures; intentional adult learning experiences; and evidence-based and student-focused decision making—can contribute to effective improvement strategies at scale.
