As a principal of an elementary school with steadily increasing numbers of economically disadvantaged students, I have seen a shift in focus on academic as well as
systemic strategies in our approach to student success.
In «Statewide Approaches to Recruiting and Retaining Teachers: Employing Partnerships and
Systemic Strategies for Addressing Critical Teacher Shortages,» the University of Cincinnati's Stephen Kroeger was joined by Mary Brownell, director of the Collaboration for Effective Educator Development, Accountability, and Reform (CEEDAR) Center at the University of Florida, and Jessica Mercerhill, director of P - 16 initiatives at the Ohio Department of Higher Education.
In a pre-conference meeting of the District Leaders Network on Family & Community Engagement, district leaders from around the country gathered to increase their capacity for implementing
successful systemic strategies by identifying solutions to common challenges and sharing best practices.
James Connell and Adena Klem report on a framework for secondary school reform and
describe systemic strategies in addition to instructional approaches that promote student engagement (2004).
As awareness spreads about the multiple benefits of social and emotional learning (SEL) for students and staff alike, a growing number of districts are
adopting systemic strategies that embed SEL into every aspect of school life.

systemic strategies to improve student achievement would be well served by Looking Together at Student Work.»
