In their plans to carry out the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), every single state has committed to directing some portion of its federal funding into investments in leadership—from teacher leaders to principalsand superintendents.1  \nThis resource can help state policymakers use an important vehicle—the local educational agency (LEA) plan requirement under Section 1112 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by ESSA—to encourage and support districts, charter management organizations (CMOs), and other local practitioners and stakeholders to strategically prioritize and invest in effective, locally-tailored leadership strategies, programs, or partnerships to advance student success. The question and rubric below are intended to be incorporated or adapted by states in alignment with their overarching vision for outstanding, equitable leadership and their specific plans for getting a well-prepared, well-supported leader in every school—especially those serving the children and communities with the greatest need.  \nNote: While state approval and monitoring of LEA plans is one vehicle for advancing strong school leadership at the local level, this resource is designed to facilitate productive conversations between state officials, district and CMO leaders,  \nand other practitioners and stakeholders in the many contextsin which they work together toward shared goals for student success.  \n1 New Leaders.

States can use this information to understand how local partners are addressing local leadership needs, identify strengths, uncover gaps, and use information gleaned to inform state-wide leadership investments.  \nDescribe your vision for identifying, preparing, and supporting school leaders in your district or network.
