6
Components of trusted school leadership, each measured, scored, and reported individually
The TrustED® 360 Assessment is a structured feedback tool designed to help leaders better understand how others experience their leadership. Unlike generic leadership assessments, it is built specifically around the six components of the TrustED® framework, giving you data that is directly actionable, not just descriptive.
​
The results are not a grade. They are a map, showing you exactly where to invest your development energy to become a more trusted, more effective school leader.

WHY IT MATTERS
The stakes of leadership trust in schools
Trust is not a soft leadership quality. It is the single most significant predictor of whether a school improves or stagnates. Here is what the research shows.
Only 1 in 7 low-trust schools showed measurable improvement
70% of improvement initiatives fail without a trust foundation
Faculty morale declines and turnover increases
Community confidence erodes
New programs consistently underperform
Communication breaks down across leadership levels
Schools struggle, regardless of strategy
WHEN TRUST IS LOW
High-trust schools are 3× more likely to show measurable improvement
1 in 2 high-trust schools demonstrated significant academic gains
Faculty retention improves, staff invest more deeply in mission
Community support and volunteerism grows
Innovation increases, teams take healthy risks together
Communication flows freely at every level of the organization
Schools improve, across every measure
WHEN TRUST IS HIGH
HOW IT WORKS
Five phases: from assessment to annual growth
