Zeribi, Karen; Miroite, Shay Bluemer; Davis, Cori; Todd, Theresa; Moore, Erin; Mihalakis, Vivian; Johnson, Tanya – Learning Professional, 2022
Inequities in education, health care, and other social services are often rooted in systemic challenges that organizations must work together to address.

The Map Is Not the Territory: Considering the Role of School Improvement Plans in Turnaround Schools
Redding, Christopher; Searby, Linda – Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, 2020
School improvement plans (SIPs) are increasingly used to structure the process of setting and monitoring goals. As SIPs are designed to identify and address local problems of practice, there is the possibility that these tools help school leaders initiate and carry out ambitious school improvement. Yet, practical challenges abound in the…

Stevenson, Isobel; Lemons, Richard W. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2021
The relationship between research and practice in K-12 is complicated and fraught. Research publications are unlikely to become more "user-friendly," and teachers are unlikely to change their practice quickly or more willingly -- nor should they. Recognize that reality, Isobel Stevenson and Richard Lemons explain that schools need to…
