This site is a way for you to share your school improvement successes with others and describe the work leading up to that success. We invite you to submit your practices for consideration using the steps outlined here. Promising Practices are used for:

• Examples and inspiration for fellow leaders
• Identification of potential GLISI teaching leaders
• Partial criteria for GLISI recognition
• Topic sources for future trainings
• GLISI’s own evaluation processes
• Creating a community of learning

The Promising Practice or Emerging Practice must be:

• tested using action research (Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle);
• proven by two years of quantitative data demonstrating a positive difference in student achievement (less than two years of data is an Emerging Practice);
• strengthened by qualitative data demonstrating a positive difference in working conditions, student learning, staff or student morale, or other conditions of practice;
• submitted through the PowerPoint template (link below); and
• sponsored by the appropriate leader from your district prior to GLISI review via a signed Promising Practice District Sponsor form (link below).

How to submit your Promising Practice:

1. Download the Promising Practice PowerPoint template here. For less than two years of data, use the Emerging Practice PowerPoint template.
2. Follow the directions to complete the presentation.
3. Submit the completed PowerPoint presentation, along with the Promising Practice District Sponsor form, to your appropriate district sponsor for review and signed approval.
