In this session, participants will experience a brief overview of two valuable school improvement processes: The Effective Schools Framework and Texas Instructional Leadership. 
Effective Schools Framework
At the core of effective schools is effective instruction: interactions between students, teachers, and content determine learning outcomes. This instructional core is strengthened and supported by effective, well-supported teachers, high-quality curriculum, and positive school culture. Strong school leadership and careful planning encompass and ensure each of these levers.
The ESF consists of a set of district commitments and, for schools, essential actions. District Commitments describe what local education agencies do to ensure that schools are set up for success. The Essential Actions describe what the most effective schools do to support powerful teaching and learning.
Texas Instructional Leadership
TIL is a program through which we provide training and support to campus and district leaders on their ability to build the capacity of educators that they manage. It consists of a suite of trainings intended to foster continuous improvement by helping campus and district administrators grow concrete instructional leadership skills in the areas of Observation and Feedback, Lesson Alignment/Formative Assessment, Schoolwide Routines, and Data Driven Instruction.
TIL trainings are aligned with many of the best practices described in the ESF, and ESCs that offer TIL trainings are among the approved vendors for schools seeking a technical assistance provider or capacity builder to support in the execution of a campus improvement plan.
