Life After an MSP: Lessons Learned about Building Capacity for On-Going Reform
Abstract
"What does it mean to build a legacy or to accomplish sustainability? Is it about relationships that survive the churn of inevitable personnel change? Is it about creating capacity at all levels? Does it involve demonstrating value-added? Funded ten years ago, the MSP of SW PA added math and science expertise to the staff of a regional education agency. It aimed for scale, involving 50+ school districts across an 11 county region, engaging rural, urban and suburban districts with enrollments from 600 to 4,000+. As a comprehensive MSP, it engaged district teams in systemic planning, while providing all building administrators with sustained learning opportunities. Join the PI, Project Director and Evaluator to explore their experiences and discuss their ultimate lessons."
