Strategies for Accomplishing Critical Action:
Action Step Implementation Timeline

(Evidence of Implementation and Impact)
Be fully aware of learning outcomes of the district curriculum 1. Identify exactly how to access the districts written curriculum for each grade and subject. While no principal—especially at the secondary level—has rote knowledge of the academic objectives for every grade and subject, every principal should be able to easily access those objectives for every grade and subject. 2. Be certain that all school leaders can access the stated learning outcomes in the districts written curriculum for any grade or subject. Far too often, principals and school leaders assume that district and/or school subject specialists "take care of" the curriculum. While those individuals may well develop, monitor, and refine the curriculum, school leaders must spend appropriate time and energy to ensure that they can USE that curriculum in school improvement efforts. Study the format and structure of the written curriculum and be certain all leaders regularly access that curriculum to facilitate instructional discussions. 3. Brainstorm as a leadership team to discuss how each leader will use his/her knowledge of the written curriculum
September 2015 – June 2016 September 2015 – June 2016 September 2015 – June 2016
Master schedule for 2015 – 16 was created so that grade-level core subjects could meet and plan together during the school day (common planning periods.) Administrators are able to be a part of the planning meetings to increase their knowledge of the district’s curriculum and ensure that it is being implemented. Administration will invite curriculum specialists to be a part of planning meetings at least once per semester. Leadership team meets once per month, usually the 3rd Thursday of the month.

to positively impact teaching and learning in your school (e.g., will reference a specific academic objective being taught during every classroom visit or observation). Remember that it is impossible to evaluate any instructional practice, strategy, or outcome unless you know exactly what it was students were to have learned.
The master schedule for 2015-16 allowed grade-level core subject partners opportunity to meet within the school day to plan. The committee feels that teachers are diligent in following the district’s curriculum. The committee identified areas where additional support will be needed next year, particularly with new and relatively inexperienced teachers.
Use the curriculum to diagnose learning problems 1. Analyze the written curriculum when diagnosing learning problems. Develop the skill to distinguish when student performance problems are likely the result of curricular rather than instructional issues. Making such a distinction is essential for providing appropriate solutions to identified problems. Several questions may help you "use" the curriculum in your problem solving: A. Is the problem widespread or fairly specific? The more common or widespread the learning issue (i.e., "none of the ninth-graders can write a three-paragraph essay"), the more likely that the problem needs to be solved by using the curriculum. B. Does a review of the curriculum for prior grades include learning objectives taught at a sufficient level to provide students with the necessary prerequisite skills to do grade-level work? (A learning problem in algebra could be the result of the K-2 math curriculum.) When diagnosing a learning problem, always ask questions about the curriculum! 2. Discuss the role of school leaders relative to understanding and using the districts written curriculum beyond the above diagnostic process. Traditionally, school leaders have allowed curricular issues to reside with district specialists or teachers while they concentrate more heavily on instructional or assessment issues—teaching strategies, classroom management, and student performance outcomes. While school leaders may not be directly involved with writing the curriculum, their knowledge of the curriculum must be the foundation to understanding all
September 2015 – June 2016
This analysis is ongoing in every planning meeting. Grade-level administrators will make it a priority to attend and be a part of grade-level core subject planning meetings to continue to diagnose needs in this area.

instructional decisions. 3. Build your teams awareness of the importance of the curriculum. Encourage every school leader to ask, "What is it that you were wanting students to know or be able to do as a result of this lesson (or homework assignment, strategy, or field trip, etc.)?"
Study curricular connections across school levels 1. Communicate with the appropriate district leaders to determine how you might structure meetings with principals and leaders from the school levels both before and/or after yours. The purpose of these meetings is to study curricular connections to ensure that learning transitions across schools are seamless. Smooth transitions from school to school ensure that achievement gains accomplished at one level are not lost at the next. Many principals and school leaders behave as if what happens before and what happens after a student is in their particular grade span is "none of their business" even when those students are continuing in the exact same district. Principals need to actively work with principals of grade spans before and/or after their own. Learning deficits when students enter or learning losses when students leave a school are VERY MUCH the business of each principal. 2. Begin to forge a PreK-12 team of principals to study the progress of students from kindergarten through graduation. Each principal should view his/her student performance data relative to this continuum. Consider both student performance data (i.e., do student achievement scores dip when they change school levels?) as well as teacher feedback (i.e., do teachers typically indicate that students enter your school prepared to do grade-level work?) in your studies with other principals. The size of your district will dictate the structure of these teams. Build skills to collaboratively address issues openly and honestly. Do students always come from one school better prepared than another? The ability to objectively analyze what is

Some work began in 2014-15 to address elementary to middle school transition. Committee would like to continue this work and expand to high school campus. Leadership team collaborated periodically with the high school campus, primarily in end-of-year transition meetings. More work needs to be done in this area for 2016-17.

happening across school transitions serves students extremely well, but it may challenge or threaten some adults. Your job as leaders is to work through any obstacles that keep you from this type of objective analysis and problem solving. 3. Build the skills of your team as you discuss how transitions across schools affect achievement gains for each core subject area and how you might minimize any disruptions in learning.

(Evidence of Implementation and Impact)
Promote a common understanding of high-yield instructional strategies 1. Work collaboratively with teachers to identify a set of high-yield instructional strategies* that all teachers will master and use in their classrooms. The chosen strategies must have supporting research that links their use to gains in student learning when properly employed (e.g., mastery teaching, development of higher-order thinking skills, flexible grouping). *For instance, see Marzano, R., Pickering, D., & Pollock, J. (2001). Classroom Instruction That Works: Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement. Denver, CO: McREL. 2. Determine how many strategies you will include on your school-wide list.** Next, list the set of competencies that teachers must have to be skilled in each instructional strategy. This practice provides an excellent opportunity for teachers to collaborate across subjects and grades. **Start with a list of no greater than three strategies. Once competencies for each strategy have been determined,
December 2015 – January 2016
Meetings are currently underway with principal/instructional specialists and grade-level core teachers. Walkthrough visits are scheduled for December and January. Meetings will be held in January to identify strategies to target for feedback in spring. This work will be continued during 2016-17 to insure that new hires are familiar with high-yield instructional strategies and have identified an area in which they would like to receive targeted feedback during administrative classroom visits.

assess which teachers need training with which strategies. Some teachers may have already mastered all three. Others will need work to build competencies in all three. Be certain that you customize the training to teachers’ current skill levels. 3. Determine how leaders will ensure that all faculty members are skilled in the use of the identified strategy. Perhaps teachers who demonstrate the strongest skills in each strategy can lead brief sessions across a number of weeks for colleagues. Carefully structure the opportunity for all teachers to master the instructional strategies that have been identified as important for all staff members to employ. This support might include master teachers, instructional coaches, or collaborative team study.
Reinforce the use of high-yield instructional strategies 1. Identify high-yield instructional strategies during classroom visits and make sure that you acknowledge or discuss these strategies with teachers after your visit. For example, carry 3-by-5-inch cards and quickly jot a note about the outstanding strategies that you observe during a classroom visit. Share your notes with each teacher you visit. 2. Reinforce high-yield instructional strategies by presenting a summary of your classroom visitation notes during faculty meetings. Give examples of strategies that you observed and perhaps share additional research on the effectiveness of the strategy. You may also wish to ask one of the teachers who you observed to be particularly skilled in the strategy to give a quick demonstration. 3.Be certain to incorporate the use of these strategies into formal evaluation processes as well.
September 2015 – June 2016
Each core area will work to identify strategies to target for the 2015 -16 school year. Targeted feedback on these strategies will be provided by administrators. This will be continued in 2016-17 through the use of Google feedback forms which will provide immediate feedback to the teacher.
Identify best instructional practices based on student performance data 1. Begin to rely on evidence of student learning as the means for identifying best instructional practices in your school. As a leadership team, discuss what measures of

(Evidence of Implementation and Impact)
student performance you will use to determine how you will identify best practice. 2. Study the benefits of using teacher-constructed common assessments*across a particular grade or subject area. Determining which teacher achieved best results over a relatively short period of time (e.g., one to two weeks) can be an excellent method of helping teachers become more comfortable with this practice. (Using higher-stakes assessments such as district benchmarks or state assessments to identify best practices in your school may trigger unintended competition or anxiety.) *Consider using value-added student performance data to identify which teachers have had the most success with different groups of students (e.g., students who are performing below grade level, students performing at grade level). Since students enter teachers’ classrooms at very different levels, some consideration of this starting point must be given before you determine who achieved the best outcomes. 3. Make your selection criteria for identifying high-yield instructional practices within your school completely transparent to teachers. Once you have identified these practices, determine how you will use the information to accelerate learning for all teachers.

Conduct frequent and focused classroom walkthroughs 1. Carefully and consistently monitor instruction through focused walkthroughs in all classrooms. Extend your current walkthrough practices to include every classroom in your school. The gold standard goal is to attempt to have at least one leader visit every classroom every day. Department chairs, instructional coaches, and assistant principals make this possible in larger secondary schools. 2. Use five-minute walkthroughs, learning team walks, or other systematic approaches to develop a deep understanding of instructional practices in your school. Provide specific feedback to each teacher relative to observed instructional quality of lessons following any walkthrough. Instituting a quick, easy, and consistent way for school leaders to provide meaningful instructional feedback relative to high-yield instructional strategies is essential to the development of those strategies in every classroom (e.g., provide pre-formatted 3-by-5-inch cards that leaders fill out quickly following their visits and place in teachers mail). 3. Develop the capacity of all school leaders to identify common instructional elements to monitor and ensure that every visit leads to some form of feedback on these elements.
September 2015 – June 2016
Plano Walkthroughs will be continued through the end of the first semester, with walkthroughs shifting to targeted strategies identified by each subject area. Google targeted feedback form will be continued in 2016-17.

(Evidence of Implementation and Impact)
Use student performance to monitor instructional practices 1. Examine the extent to which your current school leaders use student performance data to monitor the use of specific instructional strategies. Ask leaders to be prepared to provide examples of how they enact this practice. 2. Ask the leadership team to discuss how they could use performance data to monitor specific instructional practices.* If there is uncertainty, you may need to seek outside expertise to help train all school leaders. Your goal is to be able to develop an understanding of instructional practices in your school based on the study of student performance data (i.e., to identify specific instructional strengths and/or needs in each classroom). The ability to accurately diagnose these strengths and needs becomes possible particularly when more formative assessments are used—a single state assessment simply provides the opportunity to make broad statements based on a somewhat limited sample of objectives. *As you and your leadership team become stronger in identifying specific strengths and needs, remember that monitoring instructional practice requires both firsthand observation and a study of the learning results that the instruction produces. 3. Identify a specific instructional strategy as a team (e.g., the use of gifted and talented strategies) and determine how you would use student performance data to monitor the use of this technique in your classrooms. For example, put a representative sample of items requiring higher-order analysis on a common assessment and determine if students have equal success across classrooms in responding to the items. Practice in this way until the school leaders develop the competencies to enact this practice successfully.

Use formal follow-up activities to ensure professional development application 1. Begin to develop the format to allow teachers to share classroom applications following any professional development activity. From as informal a format as asking teachers to share their applications in emails to formal demonstrations offered by a number of teachers during faculty meetings, it is important to follow up on all training. 2. Consider forging a team—leaders and teachers—to conduct a learning walk on a specified day following a professional development training (i.e., two weeks after the original training). Make all teachers aware that you are visiting to observe evidence of the specific training (e.g., gifted and talented strategies in the classroom). Ask for volunteers of teachers who would like the team to visit their classrooms. Summarize your findings as a team following the visits and share the report with teachers. 3. Ensure that every professional development activity includes a follow-up to study the application of the training in your school.
September 2015 – June 2016
Department chairs will participate in a full-day of shadowing a student looking for applications of professional development training. Campus will explore the idea of learning walks for 2016-17 after PPPA assessment is completed for the new school year and goals are identified.
