The article provided an extensive account of two Ohio school districts; one, Olmstead Falls Intermediate School, classified as a "high performing" school desiring continued growth and the other, Start High School, classified as needing "continuous improvement", both of which have undertaken the Framework for Improving leadership established by Ohio State. The Framework places emphasis on adult learning focused on effective leadership, moving from traditional leadership, to positive leadership as a means for improvement and including standards, training and support conditions for leaders. Both districts established professional learning communities, without naming them within the article, in which superintendents, principals, school boards, and teachers participated. Olmstead set aside time in weekly meetings to review educational research, student work and strategies for improving teaching. They asked themselves why they were succeeding in some areas while failing in others and then examined how to use what was working to improve the areas where failure was occurring. Start transformed staff meetings from housekeeping meetings to protocol-setting meetings as they analyzed student data, created SMART goals, and worked as staff to focus on what was best for students. The collaboration allowed the entire school climate to change, teachers focused on what they were doing and realized they had the power to change their school. Results for both districts were improving. Olmstead continued to be a high-performing school, but changed its actions from accidental to intentional, and Start moved up two levels in one year to become a state-rated school of excellence. They both realized that… midway through the paper… implementing school improvement not just when things aren't going well but when things are going well. Changing the status quo and becoming a true professional learning community, collaborating to benefit students, is not only what is needed but what should be done in every district, every day.
