  4. Pre Self-study • The school must identify a set of core values and beliefs about learning • The school must create a set of 21st century learning expectations • Once a school has established its core values and beliefs, it should take steps to ensure • they are reflected in the culture of the school • they drive curriculum decisions • they drive instructional practices • they drive assessment practice
