School Culture and Climate • Leaders set the tone/attitude of the campus

• Teachers set the tone/attitude of the classrooms

• Consistent and firm guidelines set at the beginning of the year have a direct/positive impact on classroom environment and individual expectations (academic and behavioral)

Staff Quality, Recruitment, and Retention • All certified staff members are highly qualified to teach in their area.

• Feedback to teachers on their performance is provided through walkthrough documentation and PDAS evaluation instrument.

• Teachers are trained to assess, read data, schedule students in groups according to needs, and provided with curriculum to meet the instructional needs of the students.

• Induction year teachers are assigned a campus mentor, district trainings throughout the school year, and the opportunity to observe their peers.

• Teachers who attend professional development, such as ELPS, ESL, and STAAR are expected to share information and train campus or implement it in their classrooms to increase staff and student performance.

Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment • Evidence of curriculum being linked to TEKS; include scope and sequence, nine week plans, and weekly lesson plans.

• Progress monitoring and benchmark testing done to provide differentiated instruction and small group Tier II intervention as needed.

• Students who need assistance beyond the classroom are provided with after school tutoring.

Family and Community Involvement • Involve parents in classroom curriculum so that they may continue the support at home.
