Handbook for Enhancing Strategic Leadership in the Math and Science Partnerships

Description

"With support from the National Science Foundation, Horizon Research, Inc. and the Education Development Center developed a "Handbook" on strategic leadership in the Math and Science Partnerships. The Handbook is based on research on large-scale reform, as well as the "wisdom of practice" of practitioners involved in prior teacher enhancement and systemic reform efforts."

"This Handbook is intended to assist MSP leadership teams in the challenging and vitally important work of strategic leadership as they strive toward excellent and equitable mathematics and science education in their partner districts and institutions of higher education. Given the many challenges they face, MSP leadership teams must be focused and savvy in their efforts, developing working partnerships; considering how to design and implement effective interventions; ensuring stakeholder support for the reforms; working to align influential IHE and district policies with the reform vision; and figuring out how to scale up their efforts while maintaining a high standard of quality. We encourage MSP teams to consider how to apply the general principles of strategic leadership as they go about this work in their particular initiatives ... this Handbook will be helpful to current and prospective MSP leadership teams as they work to achieve these important goals."
