FOUR STEPS TO DEVELOPING A SINGLE VISION OF INCREASING STUDENT LEARNING
Of course we have room for instructional improvement. In fact, until the day comes when 100% of our students make a year’s expected academic growth, have meaningful relationships with at least one adult, and have developed identities for what their lives will be after high school, we will have room for improvement.
So what does instructional improvement look like at your school? Does your vision match up with everyone else’s? If not, time and energy are being wasted. If everyone on a boat is trying to row in a different direction with a different rowing strategy, the boat will never get to shore.
The following are four steps for ensuring your school is filled with staff that share and advance your shared vision for how to improve learning and student development.
