Teachers will develop rigorous assessments that drive great teaching, and they will conduct deep analysis of interim assessment results to make in-course corrections that guarantee higher student learning results. Administrators will receive training on how to lead effective assessment analysis meetings and how to put in place a productive data-driven culture that defines a higher bar for rigor for all students. All of this will be embedded within a strong instructional leadership model that includes observation and feedback, curriculum planning, and leading professional development.
