On September 20, 2016, The Alliance for Excellent Education (the Alliance) partnered with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the OECD) for the release of the OECD’s new report School Leadership for Learning: Insights from TALIS 2013. Given every five years by the OECD, the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) provides cross-country analyses that help countries identify others facing similar challenges and learn about their policies. This report specifically looks at different approaches to school leadership and its impact on professional learning communities and on the learning environment in schools.

Bob Wise, president of the Alliance and former governor of West Virginia, started the day, and Montserrat Gomendio, deputy director of education and skills at the OECD, introduced the report and shared its findings. Stephanie Wood-Garnett, EdD, vice president of policy and advocacy for standards, assessment, and deeper learning at the Alliance, moderated the panel.

Panelists addressed questions from the live audience.

The Alliance wishes to acknowledge the Kern Family Foundation for its generous support towards this event.
