Instructional Leadership for Student-Centered Learning

Supporting Practice-Based Instruction
Instructional Leadership for Student-Centered Learning

This Act 45 program is a 40-hour leadership learning experience designed to strengthen instructional leadership through coherent systems management and change focused on the leadership routines, professional learning, and resource planning needed to support and grow strong, practice-based instruction. Grounded in Student-Centered Learning, the program integrates the Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) and Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) to guide instructional and leadership practices across content areas.

Participants engage in asynchronous learning, in-person collaborative sessions, and job-embedded application to examine how practice-based instruction, aligned assessment, and leadership supports work together to support equitable, high-quality teaching and learning.
