New School Leadership Program (NSLP) | University of Colorado - Colorado Springs
Theory of Change
The NSLP believes that positive, constructive, and purposeful change occurs when (1) leaders work in collaborative learning teams to address issues impacting student achievement; (2) leaders are provided with and/or taught to develop mental models which can guide and clarify their thinking and practices; (3) leaders have easy access to relevant and high quality research conducted on student achievement; (4) leaders are provided the resources (time, consultants, strategies, etc.) to address the issues that most significantly serve as roadblocks to increased student achievement; (5) leaders have the skills, opportunities, and resources to access and use data for the purposes of increased results; and (6) leaders have a means for monitoring and evaluating the impact of their work.
Every one of the above conditions is a component of the New School Leadership Program. It is our expectation that by creating these conditions for participants, the learning and experiences can be transferred into action and change at the building level and ultimately impact student learning.
