Leading by doing takes an unwavering and visible commitment to an intentional, continuous improvement process. Teams at every system level distribute leadership to support effective practice so outcomes improve. Using a practice-based approach to improving mathematics outcomes, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) facilitated a continuous improvement process led by teachers and educators to improve mathematics outcomes for all students, especially students with disabilities. Four districts participated in Kentucky’s first iteration of their Transformation Zone.
