  • LEADING THE EFFORT TO TRANSFORM INSTRUCTION

    At HISD, our goal is for every student to graduate ready for the world — possessing the characteristics they need to be successful in college and to compete in today’s workforce. HISD must ensure that every school is led by an effective principal who creates an instructional learning environment on their campus that allows students to develop the skills needed to compete in today’s global economy.

    In an effort to transform tier-one instruction that will lead to the development of Global Graduates, HISD has created a leader profile that contains a list of six desired competencies. HISD is committed to ensuring that principals have the resources, professional development, and support needed to develop these competencies.
