Student and School Success principles (“Turnaround Principles”) • Principle 1: Provide strong leadership • Principle 2: Ensure teachers are effective and able to improve instruction • Principle 3: Expand time for student learning and teacher collaboration • Principle 4: Strengthen the school’s instructional program • Principle 5: Use data to inform instruction and for continuous improvement • Principle 6: Establish a safe and supportive school environment • Principle 7: Engage families and community
Indicators & Expected Indicators • “Indicators”are rapid improvement evidence-based practices at the district, school, and classroom level used to improve student learning. • Each Indicator relates to a Student and School Success Principle (“Turnaround” Principles) • Wise Way Research is provided for every indicator • “ExpectedIndicators” are those that OSPI has designated as expected to be addressed in school action plans. • Schools must have one “active” Expected Indicator per Student and School Success Principle from the bank of 17 School-level Expected Indicators • District Plans must address all 13 District-level Expected Indicators
