  5. Considerations for Model Selection Guiding Questions: Data Analyzed and Factors Considered: • What is the current level of student achievement in the school? What are the trends over time? • Does the school have the capacity to pursue new and innovative reform strategies? • How is the school’s climate and culture? Is there a culture of high expectations? • What are the conditions of the school facilities? • What programs and socio-emotional supports are currently available to students and their families? • What existing partnerships are in place at the school? Are these partnerships effective? • What reform strategies have been tried in the school? Have they been effective? Why or why not? • What is the level of experience and tenure amongst the current administrators and teaching staff? • How would the various models impact the school community? • Student demographics: • Special populations • Enrollment patterns over time • School culture and climate: • Disciplinary data • Attendance and tardiness • Graduation rate • Mobility • Student achievement: • Trends over time • Achievement gaps • School programming: • Special Education • English Language Learners • Staffing: • Administrator tenure and turnover • Teacher tenure and turnover • Staff attendance • School Facilities
