Who is the
Mid-Sized
Districts Leadership Collaborative?
Mission
The Ohio Mid-Sized Districts Leadership Collaborative consists of Chief Executive Officers in School Districts in Ohio that average between 1,000 and 10,000 students. Our mission is to significantly advance school achievement among a growing diverse group of students in Ohio in order to ensure that can actively participate in a global economic and technologically driven culture. Our collaborative is focused on capitalizing on innovative, transformational, and new-era thinking as it relates to students, teachers, administrators, parents, and students. Ohio Mid-Sized Districts Collaborative members represent a significant number of students and families and we are focused on ensuring their active participation in growing and attracting economic development and opportunities for growth and inclusion of all citizens in Ohio.
Vision
The vision of the Ohio Mid-Sized Districts Leadership Collaborative is to significantly raise educational achievement in diverse school districts in Ohio by integrating innovative school designs, best practices by peer districts, and through intensive and robust critical feedback through three primary ways, (a) implementing a rigorous instructional rounds, (b) provide peer-based leadership support to superintendents in Ohio within their first three years of service, and (3) advancing educational policy through advocacy for Ohio’s most deserving students and families. Our vision is to create and implement school transformation strategies that will identify the Ohio Mid-Sized Districts Collaborative as a state and national model of effective school reform.

Instructional Improvement Framework
District teams including superintendents, administrators and teachers from across the state visit different schools in an effort to exchange information. The purpose of doing this is so that we have an ability to get feedback from people who work in school districts that are very similar to ours, that face the same kinds of challenges, and that serve the same kinds of populations.
