School Capacity
Building Instructional leaders are tasked with improving student achievement now more than ever. Many factors affect student achievement (David Lynch et al., 2016; Mulford, 2013). Knowledge of factors that affect student achievement may influence the success of an instructional leader. This article will explore a factor that affects student achievement: capacity building, particularly school capacity building. This article will focus on two questions as follows: 1) What is school capacity building? 2) What are some strategies that instructional leaders may implement to build school capacity? To answer these questions, this article will explore the literature of building school capacity. In addition, I will provide practical tips that helped me build school capacity.
