Our Work
Ohio Leadership Development Framework
The centerpiece of OLAC's work is the Ohio Leadership Development Framework. This framework promotes the use of collaborative structures—district leadership teams (DLTs), building leadership teams (BLTs), and teacher-based teams (TBTs)—to lead schools and share the responsibility for improving student learning.
The framework identifies six essential leadership practices that outline what the superintendent, district leadership team (DLT), building leadership team (BLT), and teacher-based teams (TBTs) need to do to improve instructional practices and student performance.
Area 1: Data and the Decision-Making Process
Area 2: Focused Goal-Setting Process
Area 3: Instruction and the Learning Process
Area 4: Community Engagement Process
Area 5: Resource Management Process
Area 6: Governance Process
Ohio's Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports
Ohio’s Integrated Multi-Tiered System of Supports (Ohio's Integrated MTSS) is a framework for student success and is designed to assist districts and schools in developing a local multi-tiered system of supports.
Ohio's Integrated MTSS is the collective responsibility of all levels of the educational system. Through collaborative leadership and teaming, focused professional learning, and consistent communication and collaboration, each level plays a role in creating the conditions for effective academic and non-academic instruction and supports for all Ohio students.
