Inclusive Instructional Leadership

Providing a Continuum of Collaborative Professional Learning for Ohio’s Instructional Leaders

Our Belief

We believe that all students, including those who have disabilities and other learning difficulties, deserve access to inclusive, high quality, and personalized experiences that ensure optimal learning and achievement.

To do this, district and school leaders must create a systemwide culture of improvement that values and supports each student’s academic success, engagement, and well-being.

Supporting Students’

Ultimately, students do better when adults do better.

A Continuum of Collaborative Professional Learning

We recognize the important and different roles that each instructional leader plays in a student’s success.
That’s why our professional learning is customized by role—from central office staff to principals, teachers, teams, and coaches. This approach provides a collaborative continuum of professional learning across a school system. OH-IIL’s professional learning offerings include:

For Principals & Assistant Principals

For Leadership & Implementation Teams

For Central Office & Principal Supervisors

For Educators

Our Approach to Professional Learning

Drawing on research- and evidence-based practices, and a proven track record of success, our approach to professional learning supports inclusive instructional leadership practices in four domains:

Prioritize the Improvement of Teaching & Learning

Develop a clear vision of what constitutes effective pedagogy and making it the core work of the district; and develop system coherence around the shared vision and goals for teaching and learning.

Sustain an Open & Collaborative Culture

Share leadership as a collaborative responsibility between central office and schools; maintain open two-way communication among the district, school, and classroom levels; and promote professional collaboration within, between, and across schools in the district.

Promote Systemwide Learning

Use data as feedback to the system on its effectiveness in meeting the instructional needs of all students; model effective teaching; refine a theory of action that links strategic actions of the central office with intended results; and that uses evidence of student learning, teaching, learning conditions, and leadership practices to hold schools and the district accountable for improvement.

Build Capacity Through Support & Accountability

Attract, support, and retain qualified personnel at all levels; and develop cultures of inquiry to support the collective examination of teaching practices and their effect on student learning.

Inclusive instructional leadership (IIL) supports educators in school districts and schools to promote high levels of learning for all students, including students with learning challenges and/or those receiving special education services. It focuses on instructional leadership through the use of four key strategies – (1) promote systemwide learning, (2) prioritize teaching and learning, (3) build capacity through support and accountability, and (4) sustain an open and collaborative culture – that are actualized through the use of leadership teams [e.g., district teams, building teams, teacher-based teams, PLCs, etc.].
