Write the actions on sticky notes and apply to the appropriate key practice. Repeat as often as necessary

  8. Key Practice:Continuous Improvement Use site-based data to continuously improve school culture, organization, management, curriculum and instruction to advance student learning. TCTW

  9. Focusing on the Continuous Improvement Cycle
