What is Breaking
Ranks II (BRII)? |
|
Developed
by the National Association of Secondary Schools
Principals (NASSP), Breaking Ranks II: Strategies for
Leading High School Reform aims to improve the
learning experience of every high school student by
providing high school principals and high school
leadership teams with strategies for implementing
successful school improvement initiatives. Educational
leaders in North Dakota cannot escape the fact that many
teenagers are disengaged from the hard intellectual work
expected by their high schools and the larger community,
and they are unprepared for the world beyond those
schools. Many high schools are not doing as well as they
want or as they should, especially for low-income and
minority students and students with special needs. |
|
Who should
participate in BRII? |
|
BRII classes
are designed for high school principals and high school
leadership teams, such as assistant principals,
counselors, and teacher leaders. |
|
What is the training
format? |
|
The
standard Breaking Ranks II class is a two-day module.
However, training schedules can be customized to meet
local needs. |
|
What will I learn? |
|
During the two-day class, you will:
- Deepen your knowledge of the three core areas
and seven cornerstone strategies in BRII
and be able to apply them to improve student performance in your
school.
- Increase your capacity to engage in collaborative
leadership for effective implementation of BRII strategies.
- Learn to use tools to
gather accurate and useful information to help identify
entry points for implementing BRII strategies.
- Build stronger relationships with colleagues, which can
serve as the basis for networking and support as your
school begins BRII initiatives.
- Learn strategies to engage in conversations with
stakeholders in the school community to integrate
BRII with the mission of your school. |
