STANDARD 6: EXTERNAL CONTEXT AND POLICY Education leaders influence political, social, economic, legal and cultural contexts affecting education to improve education policies and practices.
Element 6A: Understanding and Communicating Policy Leaders actively structure and participate in opportunities that develop greater public understanding of the education policy environment.
Element 6B: Professional Influence Leaders use their understanding of social, cultural, economic, legal and political contexts to shape policies that lead to all students to graduate ready for college and career.
Element 6C: Policy Engagement Leaders engage with policymakers and stakeholders to collaborate on education policies focused on improving education for all students.
Ultimately, leaders use their influence to change policy to larger and larger spheres. The purpose of educational research is to add to our body of knowledge and give it to a wider audience. When we begin to observe the same things over and over our voice grows stronger and we can affect change for our schools and our students.
It is the job of our governing board to understand and take on larger policy pieces that ensure that our students graduate ready to succeed. These individuals are influential in our community and have to work closely with our superintendent and assistant superintendents in order to create a school district that functions effectively. This body also communicates with the community at large.
