Administrators are the linchpin of implementation – the leader who articulates urgency, the ears and eyes to assess what needs to be done for English learners, the supporter for teacher and staff engaged in the hard work of changing practices, a cheerleader and critical friend, a reminder to keep the focus on students, and the manager of critical resources needed to support the work. This series of five modules (over a two-year period) is designed to support district and site administrators as they take up the challenge of doing all of this to enact the comprehensive English Learner Roadmap policy. 

Each module of the Leadership/Administrator Strand involves participants in specifically examining their role in leading improvement processes and supporting evidence-based practice and results in a plan for inquiry and implementation to pursue before the next module. Each module also provides a volute of tools, readings, resources, and activities. The five modules together provide a solid and comprehensive learning and support structure preparing administrators to lead implementation of research-based, assets-oriented programs and services for English learners.
