Network for School Administrators Focused on Equity (NSAFE)
About
NSAFE is a yearlong professional enrichment community in which school and district administrators receive a network experience, one-on-one coaching, and high-quality research, and evidence-based informed professional learning.. NSAFE supports the leader in leading their school community towards equity with the strategic use of data by setting direction, measuring progress, reorganizing systems, and building the capacity to collaborate, lead, and teach with their community.
The school administrator is supported by both their CLEE Coach and their Peer-to-Peer Network to enhance their skills with the use of data, root cause analysis, and facilitation skills in leading cycles of continuous improvement as a leader for equity. The use of data to identify root cause analysis and facilitation skills to accelerate and sustain leading for equity and will create a shared vision for equity throughout the school. The shared leadership allows the school administrator to continue to develop and sustain the school culture that supports educators to grow their capacity to close equity gaps without feeling like they have to do it alone.
