Creating the Conditions for Student Success: Implementing the SAILS Instructional Model for Transformative Leadership LIMITED
Thursday June 12, 2025 11:45am - 12:45pm MDT
Room 6 - Mesa B
Join Dawn Brookhart in this interactive session to discover the transformative power of the SAILS Instructional Model, a comprehensive framework designed to enhance student learning through shared leadership. Built on the research of Hasbrouck & Denton (2005), Hasbrouck & Michel (2022), and Michel & Brookhart (in press - 2025), the SAILS Instructional Model empowers educators to take collective responsibility for student success by fostering a culture of collaboration, alignment, and clear, shared expectations.

Effective leadership starts with a deep understanding of expectations, and in this session, you’ll explore how school and district leaders can create the conditions for success. We’ll discuss how to develop a unified vision and align all stakeholders around common, actionable goals. Drawing on Marzano and Waters’ (2009) five core responsibilities for high achievement, we’ll guide you through key strategies such as collaborative goal setting, establishing nonnegotiable goals, and aligning resources to maximize student success.

The session will also dive into the five critical components of the SAILS Model: Standards, Assessment, Instruction & Intervention, Leadership, and Sustainability. We will explore how standards serve not only as the baseline but also as the foundation for deeper, more meaningful learning. You’ll gain insights on how to push student achievement beyond basic proficiency, encouraging students to demonstrate profound understanding and apply their knowledge to solve complex, real-world challenges.

By attending this session, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies to implement the SAILS Model in your school or district, transform your leadership practices, and build a collaborative culture that drives sustainable, student-focused improvements. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to create lasting change in your educational community and empower every educator to contribute to student success.
