Hartford Public School (HPS) Leadership for Educational Achievement in Districts (LEAD) project

The Hartford Public School (HPS) Leadership for Educational Achievement in Districts (LEAD) project is supported by the Wallace Foundation and run by HPS. The program seeks to increase and accelerate student learning by continually and systematically developing the leadership capacity of all school administrators in four areas: Turnaround school reform, Magnet/Choice schools and programs, full‑service community schools, and labor‑management collaboration. The program includes identifying and recruiting future leadership, designing a mentoring program, expanding the pool of Administrators and teacher leaders, and developing an Instructional Teacher-Leader program in collaboration with Central Connecticut State University.

One study met BHEF'­s criteria for program inclusion. The findings were positive, but statistical significance was not reported: Darling-Hammond, L., LaPointe, M., Meyerson, D., & Orr, M. (2007).
