A core function of district leadership is providing instructional vision and support for school leaders and teachers. In this article, a Research–Practice Partnership focused on the improvement of elementary mathematics teaching and learning provides the context to study leadership development. We examine the process of one design team within the Research–Practice Partnership consisting of district leaders and university researchers using organizational learning. We found that as the team iteratively negotiated the design and implementation of a practical measure aimed at assessing and improving elementary mathematics instruction system-wide, the team’s learning transformed the tools and routines of its work.

通过设计和实验发展领导力：在研究中学习 - 实践伙伴关系

地区领导的核心职能是为学校领导和教师提供教学愿景和支持。在本文中，一个专注于改进小学数学教学和学习的研究与实践伙伴关系为研究领导力发展提供了背景。我们研究了研究-实践伙伴关系中一个设计团队的过程，该团队由地区领导和大学研究人员使用组织学习组成。我们发现，随着团队反复协商旨在评估和改进基础数学教学系统范围内的实用措施的设计和实施，团队的学习改变了其工作的工具和程序。
