TEACHING TRUST EMPOWERING LEADERS | TRANSFORMING SCHOOLS
2016 IMPACT REPOR T
LEADERSHIP MAT TERS Dear Friends, Leadership matters. Great schools require strong leaders and leadership teams capable of attracting, motivating, developing, and retaining great teachers. This need is even more urgent in our most underserved schools. Teaching Trust is the only organization in North Texas focusing exclusively on school leadership.
We are heartened and humbled by the positive impact Teaching Trust-trained leaders are having on schools, students, and communities across our area. The majority of schools led by Teaching Trust leaders are outperforming their peers. Additionally, our Aspiring Leaders are advancing into school leadership positions.
Six years into our work, Teaching Trust has trained over 600 leaders, a sizable and growing community, committed to achieving better outcomes for students. Our work in developing and supporting a unique approach to school leadership requires building a foundation of trust. Trust builds commitment to the school community and improves retention of talented educators, a critical factor for schools seeking to achieve sustainable gains from one year to the next.
Our leaders continue to serve with confidence, humility, and conviction. All of us at Teaching Trust are thankful for their commitment to their school communities and their work. We are also truly grateful for all of our partners, funders, friends, and advocates. Your continued support has had a significant, positive impact in schools across North Texas—and we’re just getting started!
We publish this report as a way to hold ourselves accountable for making progress, achieving demonstrable impact, and getting better each and every year. We also celebrate the work of our leaders who are committed to making a difference in the lives of their students.

This rigorous, practice-based program prepares dedicated educators to be principals of urban schools. Our five-year development program for aspiring school leaders is offered in partnership with SMU’s Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education & Human Development. Participants earn Texas Principal Certification and a M.Ed. in Educational Leadership.
This program builds strong leadership teams at the campus level. Principals are supported in developing and distributing leadership to help build capacity in the broader school leadership team. Teams focus on goal setting, leading an aspirational school culture, and building instructional planning systems and practices that can lead to significant, sustained academic gains. School teams may opt into a second year of the program for additional content and ongoing support.
This one-year program supports teachers seeking to deepen their instructional competence, bolster their influence skills, and prepare to take on roles leading teams at the department or grade level. Participants are placed in one of two cohorts. The Instructional Leadership cohort supports teachers in reaching their greatest impact through best instructional practices and classroom leadership. The Adult Leadership cohort supports teachers in reaching their greatest impact by influencing and leading other adults.

LEADING WITH TRUST EMPOWERS ADULTS AND STUDENTS Lenore Kirk Hall Elementary School, Dallas ISD Principal: Adriana Gonzalez | Leadership Teams When Adriana Gonzalez stepped into the role of Principal at Lenore Kirk Hall Elementary School, she had her work cut out for her. During her first year, she hired 19 new teachers, including 13 first-year educators. Adriana focused on strengthening her teachers’ instructional practices, but she also recognized the need to build and empower a group of campus leaders who were able to grow and develop as a team. In her second year, Adriana’s goal was to create a strong team of individuals focused on improving student achievement. To begin building trust, she openly shared mixed results from the prior year’s staff survey to acknowledge the challenges they faced. With support from Teaching Trust staff, Adriana and her Leadership Team implemented a variety of strategies to build a more positive staff culture. They shifted away from written feedback in favor of face-to-face meetings, participated in team-wide school walk-throughs to calibrate teacher feedback, and led intentional professional development focused on building trust. Adriana believes her team’s transparency and focus on trust-building were key factors in L.K. Hall’s improvement last year. By the end of the year, L.K. Hall produced student gains on both the Satisfactory and Post-Secondary Readiness levels for the math and reading STAAR exams, experienced a 10 percentage point increase in student survey results, and ranked 11 out of 230 schools on Dallas ISD’s parent survey. Adriana plans to continue capitalizing on Teaching Trust coaching and resources to build leadership capacity. This school year, Teaching Trust Aspiring Leader Olga Romero was promoted from Instructional Coach to Assistant Principal. The continuity in leadership is accelerating the growth for staff at L.K. Hall.

PROGRAM UPDATE: LEADERSHIP TEAMS YEAR TWO Teaching Trust Leadership Teams exit our one-year program with a “Plan for Change” for the upcoming school year. Participant feedback suggested that a second year of coaching and support would be valuable as the team members implement their Plan for Change on their home campus. After piloting this extra year of content and support last year, Teaching Trust officially added Leadership Teams “Year Two,” supported in part by district program fees.
ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADER SETS FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS Young Women’s STEAM Academy at Balch Springs Middle School, Dallas ISD Principal: Clarita Rivera, 2016 Dallas ISD Secondary Principal of the Year | Leadership Teams Principal Clarita Rivera and campus leaders at Balch Springs Middle School took a risk when they proposed to pilot an all-girls program within their school for sixth through eighth grade students. In just a few months, the 450 girls participating in the pilot project had fewer discipline referrals, enjoyed an increased level of parental involvement, and outperformed the co-ed classrooms on the district’s interim assessments and the state’s STAAR test.

Based on the success of the pilot, and recognizing the potential of this model to transform the Balch Springs community, Clarita and her team advocated for the creation of two single-gender middle schools, one for boys and one for girls. Balch Springs Middle School reopened for the 2016–2017 school year as the “Young Women’s STEAM Academy at Balch Springs,” with a focus on math, science, and the arts. Clarita says the training and coaching received from Teaching Trust helped her team focus on three high-leverage actions to drive even better results: data-driven instruction, building a strong school culture, and developing the leadership capacity of the staff. To develop and distribute leadership more broadly across her campus, Clarita called on expert teachers to support new teachers and recruited high potential staff to serve on her Leadership Team. Teaching Trust then helped the Balch Springs team fill in the gaps in their own knowledge and provided a framework to support their growth.

CULTURE AND INSTRUCTION ARE CRITICAL FOR STUDENT SUCCESS Leonides Gonzalez Cigarroa Elementary School, Dallas ISD Principal: Quinton Courts | Aspiring Leaders, Leadership Teams Quinton Courts was named Principal of Cigarroa Elementary School in May 2014, just as he was completing his one-year residency in Teaching Trust’s Aspiring Leaders program. The school was facing serious challenges: there were numerous staff vacancies, 60 percent of teachers had less than one year of experience, and climate survey scores were some of the lowest among Dallas ISD elementary schools. Quinton’s first step was to form a new leadership team and enroll in Teaching Trust’s Leadership Teams program. After interviewing his staff, Quinton selected a team that included both trusted, veteran teachers as well as new staff members. Recognizing the need to reset the school culture, the team developed and adopted a vision statement as well as a set of core values, reinforced through daily routines. Thanks to staff and community buy-in for the new direction, climate scores soared to the top decile of Dallas ISD campuses during the team’s first semester. After turning around campus culture, the Leadership Team shifted its focus to improving instruction. To support the large number of novice teachers, they scheduled frequent observation and feedback cycles to improve instructional competence. Despite these
8
efforts, at the end of Quinton’s first year, the campus fell just below the bar, resulting in an Improvement Required designation from the state. A critical lesson: leading with values was essential to reset school culture, but efforts to improve instruction should have been an urgent priority earlier in the year. For the 2015–2016 school year, Cigarroa’s Leadership Team set ambitious goals around student growth. Cigarroa’s supportive campus culture enabled the team to retain existing staff and recruit experienced teachers to accelerate academic growth. Their hard work paid off; by May 2016, the campus moved off of the Improvement Required list. With gains in both achievement and culture, the school is on the path toward continual improvement.

RESILIENT LEADER DRIVES STUDENT IMPROVEMENT Uplift Pinnacle Primary School School Director: Katie Leinenkugel | Aspiring Leaders Katie Leinenkugel launched her career in education as a Teach For America – Dallas Fort Worth corps member before joining the Teaching Trust Aspiring Leaders Program in 2013. In 2014, she became School Director at Uplift Pinnacle Primary, the very school where she began as a founding teacher and TFA corps member in 2011. As a first-year school leader, Katie faced the challenge of leading a staff that was comprised entirely of first-year teachers. Despite their efforts to deliver strong results, Pinnacle ended the year on the state’s Improvement Required list, with over 70 percent of fourth-graders failing to meet the state’s proficiency bar on the math STAAR tests. Looking back, Katie reflects, “It was devastating to get those results.” Nonetheless, a foundation was set that allowed Katie to retain 80 percent of her staff and continue developing her teachers’ instructional expertise.

Katie says she entered her second year with “creativity, flexibility, and a laser focus on each scholar’s individual data.” With support from her Teaching Trust leadership coach, Katie and her team developed a master instructional planning calendar, which she refers to as a “gamechanger.” The tool allowed them to focus intensely on small-group lessons, alignment to the end-of-year assessment, and personalized instruction. Throughout the year Katie worked alongside teachers to track each student’s progress. At year-end, fifth-graders (from the prior year’s struggling fourth-grade class) gained nearly 40 points in math, and Pinnacle was off of the state’s Improvement Required list. Katie is excited to leverage her leadership skills and her growing network of Teaching Trust peers to continue driving results for students at Pinnacle. She reflects, “My network of fellow Aspiring Leaders are my number one go-to in any school situation, and I’d be lost without them.”

LEADERSHIP CONCENTRATION ACCELERATES STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT Annie Webb Blanton Elementary School, Dallas ISD Principal: Laura Garza | Leadership Teams After 14 years as a Dallas ISD teacher, Laura Garza became a first-time principal at Silberstein Elementary in 2012. Laura participated in Teaching Trust’s Leadership Teams program at Silberstein. The Leadership Teams program allowed them to work toward a common vision for excellence and to identify and implement the highest leverage action items to drive academic growth. Laura’s success as a school leader at Silberstein gained the attention of district leaders. She was asked to take on the principal role at Blanton Elementary School for the 2015–2016 school year. Dallas ISD’s Accelerating Campus Excellence (ACE) program provided incentives for high-performing principals and teachers to move to seven of the lowest performing campuses. Laura believes that her ability to select, empower, and develop a strong team of educator leaders sharing common values and skills has been crucial to the gains achieved at Blanton.

At both Silberstein and now Blanton, Laura has leveraged Teaching Trust to strengthen her own skills and those of her staff to achieve remarkable results. Laura is participating in Teaching Trust’s Leadership Teams program again, this time with a team from Blanton. Additionally, with Laura’s encouragement, 10 Blanton teachers have participated in Teaching Trust’s Ed Fellows program over the past two years, and Math Instructional Coach Alicia Iwasko is now in the Aspiring Leaders program. This is the largest concentration of Teaching Trust-trained leaders on a single campus, and the results are encouraging. “I am proud to share that Teaching Trust continues to inspire growth in me,” Laura states.
