Evidence-Based Leadership by Design

Using data from semi-structured interviews and a school leader questionnaire from the Study of Instructional Improvement, we examine how leaders in two CSR designs—America’s Choice and Success For all—engage in the practice of evidencebased, instructional leadership. The goal of our analysis is to learn to what extent, and how, the school leaders learned to create sustained, school-wide systems of inquiry to collect, analyze, and use instructional evidence to improve professional practice and student learning.
