We do that by bringing resources, in-school Facilitation, and School Renewal Summits to schools with one goal in mind: to support teachers and principals in implementing research-supported practices that will improve success and opportunities for all students. Since 2017, HIL4SR has worked with over 300 schools throughout Michigan through research-practice partnerships. We have supported schools as they implement systems that increase school-level leadership capacity while putting a laser focus on student growth and achievement. As part of WMU’s College of Education and Human Development, HIL4SR also equips and certifies the Facilitators who work with school leaders, provides prior learning credit for participating principals and teacher-leaders, and engages in an ambitious research agenda around School Renewal.

"The HIL project has been a force of positivism, positive growth, transparency, and vehicle for continued progress. It is not another initiative that will be forgotten in two years. We have not only made positive growth with our data, but the program promoted us to unite our staff, speak truthfully... and improve communication between students, staff, and building principals." - HIL Project Team Leader
