he Flint Center for Educational Excellence will share its expertise in “Building a Culture of School Improvement” at the 2025 Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) annual conference “Leading Without Limits” June 29-July 2, in San Antonio, Texas.
Keiona Mosley, Chief Strategy Officer for the Flint Center and Lisa Molinaro-Krohn, Trainer for the American Institutes for Research, will present on the success of the Network for School Excellence’s work in developing a network of elementary schools in Flint focused on improvements to teaching and learning strategies.
Mosley and Molinaro-Kohn will share improvement science principles, create a mock plan-do-study-act cycle, and discuss ways to build a culture of improvement in districts and schools. “We are excited to share our proven strategies with other education professionals,” said Mosley.
“Our Network for School Excellence applies the core principles of improvement science so our teachers can implement evidence-based instructional interventions that are proven to work for all students, as verified through rigorous research,” she said.
The Network for School Excellence membership encompasses eight elementary schools from six school districts, including Durant Tuuri-Mott and Doyle-Ryder in the Flint Community Schools, Dailey in the Beecher Schools, Hamady and McMonagle in the Westwood Heights Schools, Dye in the Carman-Ainsworth Schools, the International Academy of Flint, and the Flint Cultural Center Academy.
ASCD is a global education organization focused on empowering educators to advance and elevate learning to meet the needs of all students—equitably and wholly.
The Network for School Excellence is one of the six pillars of the Flint Center whose focus is to take action to drive student achievement, magnify effective solutions for schools, and confront systemic challenges that hinder school success. By utilizing improvement science and data-driven decision-making, the Network is working to radically improve academic outcomes for Flint children in school and beyond.
The Flint Center for Educational Excellence is building an educational ecosystem that works for all Flint kids by providing programs, research, and advocacy that ensure Flint kids, their families, schools, and communities thrive. We accomplish this through a cross-sector partnership to create a cradle-to-career support network connecting people, ideas and resources in tangible ways that strengthen our community through the power of collaboration.
