Dr. Bill Daggett

Systemwide Improvement

Bill Daggett, Ed.D., Founder and Chairman of ICLE, is recognized worldwide for his proven ability to move PreK–12 education systems toward more rigorous and relevant skills and knowledge for all students. Dr. Daggett’s System for Effective Instruction and Rigor/Relevance Framework are the cornerstones of many school improvement efforts throughout the United States, and his powerful keynote messages help his audience challenge assumptions about the purposes, benefits, and effectiveness of current practices. Before founding and now serving as Chairman of ICLE, Dr. Daggett was a teacher, local administrator, and a director with the New York State Education Department.
