What best describes your role in instructional improvement decisions for your district or school?
*
I approve and fund instructional initiatives at the district level
I lead implementation of instructional initiatives at the school level (principal, AP, instructional coach)
I advise on instructional decisions but don't have final approval authority
I'm exploring on behalf of district leadership
Other (please specify)
Which of these statements reflect your current reality? (Select all that apply)
*
We've launched initiatives with strong research backing, but classroom implementation has been inconsistent
Our principals want to lead instructional improvement but lack a repeatable system to do so
We've invested in external consultants ($50K+) with limited lasting impact after they leave
Teachers are overwhelmed by the number of initiatives—nothing gets deep implementation
We measure improvement in semesters or years, not weeks
We struggle to give meaningful feedback to teachers when principals aren't content experts in every subject
We don't have a clear way to track if teaching practices are actually taking root
None of these—we have strong implementation systems in place
How does your district currently approach instructional improvement cycles?
*
Semester-long or year-long initiatives (we plan big and measure at the end)
Quarter-long initiatives (9-12 weeks)
We've experimented with shorter cycles (4-8 weeks) but lack a system to sustain them
We already run rapid cycles (2-6 weeks) and it's working well
We don't have defined cycles—improvement happens informally
How confident are your school-based leaders (principals, APs, coaches) in facilitating instructional improvement—especially in subjects or grade levels they didn't teach?
*
Very confident—they coach across all subjects effectively
Somewhat confident—they're effective in familiar content areas, less so in others
Not confident—they avoid giving feedback when they lack content expertise
We haven't asked this question, but it's likely a challenge
Not sure

$50,000 - $100,000
$100,000 - $250,000

The founding cohort will receive enhanced support—including weekly check-ins, direct founder access, and the opportunity to shape the system.In exchange, we ask founding partners to:- Implement at least 2 improvement cycles (2-6 weeks) in Spring 2026 (March-May)- Provide candid feedback on what works and what doesn't- Participate in case study development (sharing outcomes with future districts)If selected for the founding cohort, would your district be able to commit to this level of engagement?
*
Yes—we're ready for this level of partnership
Likely yes—pending final approval from leadership
Not yet—we'd prefer to join after the founding cohort
Not sure—I'd like to learn more first
Before the platform launches, would you be interested in a 30-minute strategic briefing to discuss how Lead Spark Team might work in your specific context?(This is not a sales call—it's a discovery conversation to see if we're a good fit.)
*
Yes—I'd like to schedule a briefing
No—I'll wait for more information via email
