Excellence without equity is simply not excellence; it’s privilege…and equity without excellence is not equity…it’s tokenism.

“Look For” DocumentSTANDARD 1: In successful districts and schools, there is a collective commitment to collaboratively identify, plan, implement, monitor, evaluate, and communicate the
changes necessary to continuously improve student learning.
I.A
Focused and Coherent Direction
Indicator Exemplary Performance Look Fors Evidence (
A: The district leadership team establishes a coherent and collaborative approach for improving student
performance based on the established vision/goals and implements a comprehensive district continuous
improvement process.
• Mandatory, regular, scheduled district level meetings
attended by a dedicated team of 7-12 diverse
stakeholders.
• Meeting Agendas, Minutes, Norms, and Communication
& Feedback loops used consistently.
• Disaggregated data used to ensure that all students have
access to, and that no student groups are unequally
represented in, academic and nonacademic
opportunities.
• Alignment of vision, mission, and goals.
• A single focused, integrated continuous improvement
plan with clear measures that is part of a continuous and
recursive cycle: assess needs, set direction, create
actions, monitor, and evaluate.
• Actionable goals reviewed at least bi-annually using
inquiry based collaborative problem solving structures
that incorporates progress, program, demographic, and
perception data.
• Protocols to make corrections during the course of the
year and evaluate ineffective practices and scale
successful practices across the district.
