In their first year of partnership, the leadership teams of the six Walnut Creek elementary schools are collaborating to build teacher leadership of grade-level collaboration at their sites. Each principal and teacher leader team is building shared understanding around priority goals for student learning; facilitating learning experiences for their grade-level colleagues connected to those goals; and analyzing those learning experiences to understand how to adapt their leadership in service of desired outcomes for students.
