Set High Standards Student achievement can be significantly raised through a combination of setting high standards, training staff and administrators, and holding people accountable. When students and staff feel safe in school, and they know what the rules are, there is a great likelihood that student achievement goes up. This all depends on adults having clear, positively stated, high expectations and enforcing them consistently. Support Teachers An important step in turning around a district involves developing a teacher evaluation system that connects improved instructional practice and student achievement. The basic building blocks of a useful and effective evaluation system are clarity and observability of standards in practice, a common language, calibration, consistency, documentation, a check for teacher comprehension and an understanding of the ”reasonable person” rule often expressed in state administrative hearings and state courts in connection with teacher- and other personnel-evaluation cases. |
