Foundations
As a building leadership team, reflect on your school-wide practices in the three Foundation Practices.
The foundations are essential to sustaining effective teaching and learning. Do educators effectively
collaborate and review data when making instructional decisions? As a team, reflect on the following
items. Are they in place? If not in place, is training or coaching needed?
Collaborative Data Teams
1. Building schedule supports collaborative data team meetings at least twice per month.
2. Agendas have a consistent format, including suggested time limits.
3. Meeting minutes distributed to members and other stakeholders in a timely and consistent
manner.
4. Team roles are assigned.
5. Team norms are developed.
6. Action items and responsibilities are outlined.
7. There is evidence that the team shares responsibilities and duties for following through with
action items.
8. Student-level data is discussed at each meeting.
9. Team shares and discusses instructional practices affecting student learning.
