School Leadership Teams (SLTs) are committees made up of parents, teachers and administration. They help develop school policies. The also ensure that school resources support the execution of those policies. School Leadership Teams help with the assessment of a school’s educational programs. They help with judging the educational programs’ effects on student achievement.

School Leadership Teams play an important role in school-based decision making. They help shape the path to a collaborative school culture.
