GLISI’s Performance-based Modules for Leader Development

Georgia's Leadership Institute for School Improvement provides Performance-based Modules (PBMs) for download free of charge via this Web site to support Georgia school leaders in “Priority Performances” – the high-value work that districts need their aspiring and developing leaders to be able to do to support student achievement and school effectiveness. GLISI’s PBMs guide leaders to perform these critical tasks and support practice with feedback and assessment, helping new leaders reduce time to competency and close the knowing-doing gap to perform confidently and proficiently.

Who Can Use GLISI PBMs?
These modules may be used for leader development and performance improvement in Georgia
school districts and schools, as well as in Georgia’s higher education leadership preparation programs. They are designed to be used by teachers in preparation for leadership and leaders during induction and transition in leadership roles.

What are the benefits of using GLISI PBMs?
Performance-based Modules are designed to guide work on the job, not as a workshop or course manual. A PBM contains topics school and district leaders identify as “critical.” Although they address many performance tasks, all GLISI PBMs: 

  • Are geared to leaders or teachers who lead teams

  • Are lean in content: just enough, just in time to support performance

  • Scaffold real school improvement work for aspiring and developing leaders

  • Contain job-embedded learning

  • Must be practiced in real time, in real schools, aligned with real work

  • Feature clear criteria for effective performance of a task

  • Support the feedback process with a performance coach

  • Structure practice and demonstration of proficiency

  • Guide you to other resources and tools

  • Include follow-up and monitoring

For more information about the GLISI leadership development programs that use these modules, see the Leadership Preparation Performance Coaching site, the Rising Stars Collaboratives site, and the Executive Development Program site.
