Instructional Leadership
Resources
NHSALT has emphasized the importance
of balanced leadership perspectives.
The project has attempted to slightly
swing the pendulum away from the
management side of school administration
and to focus the direction of superintendents
and principals toward instructional
leadership. The Education Department
Center (EDC) and the Center for Leadership
and Learning Communities (CLLC) have
developed a virtual resource library
with many articles about leadership
and policy development. Some of the
resources require user registration
but they do have a strong policy
about privacy. There is a great deal
of information to be explored. Some
of the documents may soon be showing
up in one of our cohort sessions.
To investigate these resources,
type the following URL into your
favorite browser: http://cllc.edc.org/rl/
If you find compelling information
to share or other useful websites,
please discuss them at your cohort
or email us.

NH Principal-in-Residence
Since the July training sessions,
our NH-SALT Principal in Residence,
Jeff Spiegel, has clocked
over 10,000
miles streaming across
New
Hampshire.
To date, he has visited 45 schools
at least once and met with nine superintendents
and two assistant superintendents.
The project themes of instructional
leadership, technology and
change have been the primary focus of his discussions with principals
and presentations to faculties, superintendents and cohorts.
Thus far, Jeff has consulted with
two districts about curriculum
mapping and ways to integrate assessment
outcomes. He has also
provided information to principals regarding Wiggins’ and
McTigue’s instructional design and backwards planning process,
performance-based assessment, thinking maps and higher order thinking
skills. Jeff has presented the LoTI to several faculties and is
scheduled for more this spring. He and Dan Cherry will be working
with students in grades 1-6 to demonstrate the use of technology
for higher order thinking skill development. If you would like
to host the “Dan and Jeff show” to provide a LoTI presentation
or information about instructional design for your faculty, please
contact them.
