Long Distance CALL

 How's distance learning going in your school? 
 Let's find out together... 

Introducing Long Distance CALL. Derived from the evidence-based Comprehensive Assessment of Leadership for Learning (CALL), Long Distance CALL takes the same approach to assessing and supporting school-wide leadership.

What is Long Distance CALL?

  • Long Distance CALL begins with a comprehensive survey activity for teachers, instructional support staff, and school administrators.
