INDICATORS FOR DISTRICT SUCCESS
1
Multi-year commitment to building systemic change
2
Investment in capacity development across all levels (Board, Admin, Educators)
3
Readiness to transition from data- informed to data-driven intervention feedback cycles
4
Willingness to establish deep partnership with community stakeholders in shared learning process
  • WHY we do it: ADULT IMPACT = STUDENT IMPACT

  • District governance documents match school intervention goals and priorities

  • Cross-functional committees formed to advocate for and track implementation of district-wide intervention plans

  • District and site-level data analysis practices and cadence match learner needs

  • District and site-based teams establish communications and feedback systems to track intervention success

  • Site administrators, teachers, and intervention staff trained on research-based C3R intervention instruction and protocols

  • Site intervention teams reflect school administrators, educators and community stakeholders

  • Parents, guardians and community members are included as integral members of educational process and intervention design

  • Development of in-depth district-specific frameworks ensures long term sustainability of intervention design
