DESE Instructional Leadership Institute - August 2023
In August 2023, DESE hosted the first ever summer Instructional Leadership Institute. District teams gathered from across Massachusetts to engage in an interactive, learning-centered approach to building the effectiveness of instructional leadership teams towards advancing innovative, high quality instructional practices and equitable student outcomes.
This opportunity was developed in response to requests from school and district leaders for more support with:
Deeply examining what relevant, real-world, and interactive grade-level work looks and sounds like within the Massachusetts ELA and Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks,
Deepening their understanding of how to equitably use high-quality instructional materials to engage all learners at the rigor of the standards, and
Helping to build the necessary equity-centered routines and rituals for instructional leadership teams to effectively support high-quality instruction across all classroom and drive professional learning.
The Institute materials are available for any school or district to use.
