Systems and Routines
Implementing systems and routines supports a data-driven approach to continuous improvement. Each system and routine includes research-based practices to support the improvement of teacher and leader performance and student learning. Additionally, collaborative teams ensure ongoing communication, problem-solving, and feedback loops between central office, building, grade-level, and content-area teams within a district.
