The initiative is engaging partners from education, government, business, civic groups and other organizations tackling leadership issues in various realms of the public education system and seeking to spark action among the increasingly diverse participants in the effort to strengthen the nation’s schools. Much of the work is being done by four task forces focusing on leadership at the state, district, principal and teacher levels. [|principal leadership.pdf]
 * Instructional Leadership**

This research report is the result of "a modest survey in 2004 of some two dozen programs offered around the country, exploring who offers them, how they are organized and funded, what theoretical approaches undergird them, and what evaluations are being done on their impacts. This scan included programs offered by superintendent membership organizations, other (non-superintendent) non-profits, universities, foundations, and for-profit companies. Although the research was not designed to be exhaustive, it did provide a good cross section of what is available, from which providers, and for what purposes. A summary and analysis of the findings has been previously published by the Kennedy School.1" [|SupportingSchoolSystemLeaders.pdf]
