Leading Change:
Shaping the Path

Rationale: Barriers inevitably exist when working to realize any change within schools. By identifying and working intentionally to remove these barriers, school leaders make desired behaviors more attainable and more effectively facilitate the implementation of evidence-based practices. Thinking purposefully about how to Shape the Path equips school leaders to proactively shape their school environment, ultimately leading to improved student outcomes.

Learning Intention: Leaders will gain deeper context into principles from the Switch framework, specifically related to Shaping the Path, and will contextualize them for their work as ATT members.

Success Criteria: Leaders will know they are successful when they…

• have reflected on the components of the Switch Framework that they have implemented

• have an in-depth understanding of what it means to “Shape the Path”

• can apply principles related to “Shaping the Path” in their roles as STT members
