LTS Components Career ladder/pipeline Micro-credential system for Instructional Leadership competencies for a leadership pipeline (new teacher to principal supervisor) School Profiles with leading and lagging indicators Vacancy projector and matching Facilitator Notes: Matt- speak to each component of the system and the impact for DMPS

Cascading Effects Principal Supervisor Effectiveness Principal Effectiveness Teacher Effectiveness Student Achievement
