The Transformational Leadership Initiative from the Institute for School Partnership at WashU builds the capacity of educators to transform their organizations with new approaches to leadership and deeper learning experiences for all students and educators. Deeper learning challenges traditional classroom practices by involving students in highly engaging problems, projects, experiments, and writing tasks requiring them to work collaboratively and apply their knowledge in real-world settings. Its approach to school change recognizes that many top-down, prescriptive reform efforts to micromanage school operations and classroom activities have failed.
