| Almost all teachers are checking for real understanding – Nearly every teacher is now creating tests and assignments that check whether students truly “get it,” not just memorize facts. This shows the school has successfully changed how teaching happens day-to-day. | Make sure all assignments are challenging enough – While clear goals are being set, the school needs to ensure that the actual work students do in every classroom pushes them to think deeply and meaningfully. |
| Learning goals are clear to students – When you walk into classrooms, you can see what students are supposed to learn that day. Teachers have gotten good at making these learning targets visible and understandable. | Strengthening curriculum alignment – The school needs to create regular systems for teachers to align their curriculum so learning builds logically from one grade level to the next and across different subject areas. Making sure all content areas are included. |
| Teachers are building sustainable practices – Teachers are finding better ways to plan their lessons efficiently and keep improving their methods over time. They’re building habits that will last, not just checking boxes. | Improving how data guides instruction – Teachers need consistent approaches for reviewing student performance information and using it to adjust their teaching. This includes making better use of the Aubre tool to help all teachers regularly analyze student progress and respond with targeted instruction. |
