Shared Leadership and Responsibility
School leadership is shared by the intermediary, district representatives, school staff, students, families, and relevant community partners. The school mission, vision, and goals are clearly defined and understood by all. Stakeholders participate regularly in data-driven decision making focused on improving support for student achievement and attainment. Roles and responsibilities are clearly defined with support and accountability systems in place to ensure effectiveness. Leadership capacity is groomed and supported at all levels: students, parents, mentors, instructors and principals.
The AHSI Distinguishers provide a common design framework for development and assessment of our schools. Each distinguisher is supported by a range of alternative strategies which vary according to the unique school design prescribed by each organization.
