A recent?report by the?American Association of School Administrators?identifies the value of data-informed school improvement. The?report?articulates how data help with the following:
Additional research?reveals that?none of the above school improvement initiatives are successful without the?#1 indicator of organizational success in place, which is “trusted leadership.”
The level of trust in school/organization/business leaders is?the?most important data point?to inform and drive improvement initiatives. Unfortunately, over 70% of school improvement and business initiatives fail due to a failure in leadership and execution, which boils down to a lack of trust. The vast majority of schools, businesses, and organizations are not tracking this single most important data point.
The video?below?introduces the TrustED framework for informing and guiding school improvement through school leaders’ intentional and individualized development. The framework is also applicable for ensuring the success of business and organizational improvement initiatives.
TrustED, the framework, the assessments, the tools, and the training and coaching services are all evidence-based and research-validated. All are integrated to support intentional, meaningful, authentic, and measurable school/business/organization improvement based on the single most important data point… TRUSTED LEADERSHIP.
Schools, businesses, and organizations that fail to…
(1) assess the trust level of their leaders,
(2) invest in the ongoing personal and professional growth of their leaders, and
(3) develop action plans to ensure improvement through the development of their leaders…
…will always fall short in their pursuit of authentic mission fulfillment and well-being of their organization and their people.
