Leadership, Efficacy, and a Culture of Trust: Key Findings from Learning from Leadership Research
Kyla Wahlstrom, University of Minnesota
Kyla Wahlstrom, Ph.D., will present findings from Learning from District Efforts to Strengthen Education Leadership, a five-year research study funded by the Wallace Foundation designed to produce empirical evidence establishing the connection between leader performance and changes in student learning. One of the largest studies on educational leadership undertaken, with research gathered from 45 school districts in nine states, the discussion of the study’s findings will demonstrate not only how superintendents and principals can most effectively drive gains in student learning, but how and why their practices result in instructional improvement in some contexts and not in others.
Dr. Wahlstrom is the director of the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI) in the College of Education and Human Development and also is a lecturer in the department of Educational Policy and Administration.
