ASCD Recommendations Make sure educators deeply understand the standards
and the key instructional shifts they require. Inventory and vet instructional resources for quality and
alignment with the Manchester Academic Standards. Continue to transform traditional principal practice into
instructional leader practice. Listen to educators about their professional learning
needs. Maximize opportunities for collaboration and capacity
building through professional learning.
