Teaching & Learning

• Articulation and alignment of standards-based curriculum and instruction (Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment + Literacy + Mathematical Practices - CIA+L+MP)
• Design, implement and use a comprehensive assessment system.  Use data/evidence to guide decision making and planning for professional learning and to monitor progress toward meeting goals (CIA+L+MP). (Plan, Do, Study, Act – PDSA)

• Monitor and support implementation of standards-based curriculum, instruction, and assessment
• Use data/evidence to guide decision making and planning for professional learning (PDSA) and to monitor progress toward meeting goals (CIA+L+MP). What do we celebrate? What adjustments do we need to make?

Curriculum

• Fidelity of implementation of standards-based curriculum

Instruction

• Use of student-centered, engaging, high-quality instruction
• Use of technology to support learning

Assessment

• Use of common assessments and other classroom data to inform and adjust instruction (PDSA)
• Use of on-going formative assessment with feedback tied to the standards (PDSA)

Literacy (Social Studies, Science, ELA, CTE)

• Implementation of literacy standards in the content areas with a balance of literary and informational texts across the content areas
• Supporting claims with evidence in writing and speaking

Mathematical Practices (Math and Science)

• Teaching mathematical content through the standards of mathematical practice
