Making the Case for School-and System-Level Thinking
The scope of the project involved 80 Malmö Elementary Schools, 3,500 students (six to 16 years of age), 270 school leaders and approximately 5,000 teachers. After accounting for significant demographic changes and a focus on student achievement, the jurisdiction put forth a plan for improvement, centred on three key forces: system leadership; structural and process change; and professional learning for all leaders. These forces were guided by what is known about effective schools, systems, and leaders, at all levels.
