The Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement framework implies that something “rapid” can be done to make a difference. In this session, we explore actions that can be done “rapidly” (by the end of this school year) that will set a strong foundation for the path forward. After studying pre- and post-survey data on questions aligned with the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement, we interviewed leaders who demonstrated “rapid” gains in areas associated with leadership, talent development, instruction and culture. Their words are shared during the presentation, along with step-by-step ideas for putting them into action in your school(s) now, next and later.
