“Lowering standards doesn’t raise students’ self-esteem. But neither does raising standards without giving students
ways of reaching them.”
Carol S. Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
The McRel leadership study determined
that superintendents must focus on:
1. Collaborative goal setting
2. Non-negotiable goals for achievement and instruction
3. Use of resources to support achievement and instruction
4. Monitoring goals for achievement and instruction
5. Having a defined autonomy and relationship with the schools

Non-negotiable Goals for AchievementAn accountability system that measures student gain (growth model). The goal should be reaching a standard for how much growth we expect during a school year in any particular subject.
Non-negotiable Goals for Achievement• Reconstitute Standards as Measurement or Reporting Topics
• Common Core Standards as Measurement or Reporting Topics
• Each topic at each grade level is articulated in the form of a rubric or scale
• Track Student Progress on Measurement Topics
• Teacher developed and District developed common assessments
• Data is collected at the classroom, building, and district level that allows for identification of knowledge gain at the individual student level
• Provide Support for Individual Students
• Student learning is being tracked and individual students are provided evidenced based interventions
• Progress monitoring takes place
• Redesign Report Card
• Standards based report card
• Monitored for integrity

Instructional Framework“Districts should have an explicit goal regarding the continuous improvement of pedagogical skills among teachers in the District. An instructional model should not be construed as an attempt to constrain teachers to one particular approach to teaching: it should be interpreted as a necessary vehicle for communication between teachers regarding the art and science of teaching. The model should be specific enough to provide guidance for teachers, but flexible enough to allow for different teaching styles. It is recommended that districts provide a written document describing their model.”
(Marzano and Waters, 2009)

The middle school will agree upon a common RTI model
for identifying and adding layers of academic support
Middle Level Achievement Framework Guide
The following achievement framework was developed to clarify and strengthen the interrelationships among curriculum, assessment, and instruction (as well as language we use to discuss each) in order to monitor and elevate student achievement. The items should not be seen as an ordered list of steps; rather they are an articulation of ongoing, often overlapping processes.

High School Achievement Framework
Fostering High Academic Achievement
The Superintendent will foster high academic achievement,
wellness, and well- being among all learners in a safe,
supportive environment.
Fostering High Academic Achievement Pt. 1Expansion of programming focused on career and technical exploration
Analysis and utilization of data from the graduating senior survey
Develop partnerships with early intervention programs to identify children most at-risk and provide support for children and families
Establish uniform transitions for students entering Kindergarten, sixth and ninth grade
Establish practices and procedures that support parent advocacy and creates a more parent/student centered organization
Address the academic achievement trend, including the literacy crisis in the early elementary levels
Monitor at the building level to ensure practices are consistent with policies in the areas of discipline and incentives. continued
Fostering High Academic Achievement Pt. 2Develop and monitor the effectiveness of professional development in the area of culturally relevant education.
Implement Common Core Standards with an emphasis on instructional practices to support the development of higher order thinking skills.
Develop a plan of action that enhances the capacity of the high schoolsand addresses outcomes in the areas of academic achievement (ACT Composite) and graduation rates for all student performance groups.
Develop and implement aggressive programs to elevate tangible measures of academic achievement at all grade levels and to narrow academic achievement disparities among all racial, economic and gender groups to the extent feasible.
