ESC 7 Accountability team members stand ready and able to support your school improvement efforts. Well before ratings are released, our team is hard at work providing assistance to support everything from data analysis to root cause determination.
Upon identification (state or federal), campus teams- consisting of (at a minimum) the Principal and Principal Supervisor- receive training on the Effective Schools Framework (ESF), which includes the following levers. Components of the training are primarily conducted in a Face-2-Face setting, with additional information being provided using virtual venues.
1.1. Effective Leaders
2.1 Effective, Well-Supported Teachers
3.1 Positive School Culture
4.1 High Quality Curriculum
5.1 Objective-driven Daily Lesson Plans with Formative Assessments
5.3 Data-driven instruction
Identified campuses will also participate in an ESF Diagnostic- a collaborative analysis that illustrates the status of campus practices in relation to their alignment with the Framework. Findings are presented as Areas of Strength and Opportunities for Growth, and are used to guide campus decision-making regarding the focus areas for school improvement.
Schools are also provided with individualized support to appropriately engage in required accountability interventions. This includes assistance with data analysis, team meeting facilitation, and development of required Targeted Improvement Plans, Turnaround Plans, and School Improvement Grant requirements.
