The results of the Reflective Summaries served tohelp schools identify areas in need ofimprovement around their systems of support, effectiveness of instruction and curriculumalignment.

These areas of need were reflected as Action Stepsin the 2012-2013 Web EPSS under the Readingand Math Goals.

The New Mexico Instructional Audit

New Mexico Instructional Audit

Schools with grades of D or F and/orstatus of Focus or Priority were required togo through the Instructional Audit processin Fall 2012.

PED teams – Priority and F SchoolsLEA teams – Focus and D Schools

Purpose: NMIA Priorities to Developing a School Plan

The New Mexico Instructional Audit (NMIA) provided schools with an independentexamination of the operations and systems

thatsupport and relate to instruction.

Results from the NMIA are essential and werereflected in the school’s 2012-2013 Web EPSS.

Guidance: NMIA Exceptions 2012-2013

If within the last year your school completed anyof the following, and has a summary report that was uploaded to the Web EPSS file cabinet, theschool DID NOT have to complete the NMIA.

• High Schools that Work: TAV or TRV• North Central Association Accreditation

(Must be an individual school visit)• Participation in the University of Virginia

School Turnaround Specialist Program


The audit is based on 13 indicatorsrelated to research and best practices forteaching and learning that build on thework of the CLASS and also aligns withthe Seven Turnaround Principles listed inthe “New Mexico ESEA Flexibility Request.”

New Mexico Instructional AuditRequired for all Priority, Focus, F and D schools

Compilation of data and findings based on interviews, classroom observations and document reviews.

Data and findings were shared with thesuperintendent/designee, principal and schoolleadership team at an exit meeting.

The NMIA team leader wrote a formal report and sent it to the superintendent and school principal within 10 days to two weeks.

Responding to the NMIA ReportUpon receiving the report, the district and the

school had 10 days to two weeks to review and respond to the findings.

For each finding the school needed to provide a response.

The expectation was that the school responded to all findings, utilizing the cells provided in the report template and incorporated the responses into the school’s 2012-2013 Web EPSS.


The principal, with support and input from the district representative and school personnel reviewed the NMIA Report findings and determined actions to address the findings.

Findings are priorities that were reflected in the 2012-2013 School Web EPSS as Action Steps and connected to goals and strategies in this tool.
