The study will examine the
implementation of the Turnaround School Leaders Program (TSLP) and
provide information on how grantees (1) identify, develop, and
support leaders and aspiring leaders of low-performing schools; (2)
adjust their project plans, (3) use data to examine progress, and
(4) work with project partners to meet goals. The ultimate purpose
of the study is to glean specific lessons learned for turnaround
leadership development (for the field), program improvement (for
program staff), and program design (for policy makers). The study
will include surveys of all (12) Cohort 1 grantees; case studies of
seven Cohort 1 grantees, including each grantees’ partners; and an
analysis of extant data, including grantee applications, early
outcomes data, and other relevant project-specific data.
