  Leadership Matters
  Instructional leadership teams make a significant contribution 
  in raising student achievement.
  Efficacy is best developed when the leadership team 
  collectively works together, understands the complexities of 
  working in a group, and has confidence in one another’s ability.
  Leaders do not have to have formal positions of authority.
   Hattie, Donohoo, (2013) DeWitt (2018)
   Leadership and MTSS
   Results from a diverse range of studies suggest that effective leadership, 
   especially distributed leadership, is organized to: 
   ●
    sustain focus over time, build on existing strengths and examine areas for 
    growth; 
   ●
    attend to practical matters that create greater learning opportunities – 
    particularly school climate and scheduling; 
   ●
    engage in careful assessment and allocation of resources – people, time, and 
    materials; 
   ●
    articulate and align curriculum, instruction, and assessment; and
   ●
    create partnerships that promote participation on the part of a wide array of 
    people and groups outside of the schools—including families and communities.
