About

The High Impact Leadership (HIL) for School Renewal is a research-based initiative that supports school principals and teacher leaders. Its goal is to develop effective school teams that use high-impact leadership principles and processes to improve systems and instruction, resulting in better outcomes for students

We believe:

  • Every child deserves to attend an excellent school.
  • Schools are the critical unit for change, holding the locus of control for their own improvement. 

We know: 

  • High Impact Leadership for School Renewal is a set of principles and processes that have positive effects on principal leadership, school leadership, and student achievement.
  • Integrated school leadership (where principals and teachers share leadership to influence classroom practice) and school renewal as a process (emphasizing local agency and contextual adaptation over uniform implementation) are the theoretical foundations of HIL4SR. 

We offer: 

  • HIL4SR resources: process guides, templates, free Edupaths courses
  • In-school Facilitation 
  • School Renewal School Summits
  • Prior learning credits toward degree completion
  • Short and long-term virtual and in-person training and mentoring
  • An experienced group of HIL4SR Facilitators
