Improving Schools
Improving Schools
DASL believes that with the proper supports and interventions, all schools and districts can achieve success. DASL’s school and district improvement services focus on four key areas:
- Using data to inform instruction
- Improving instruction for all
- Creating a culture of collaboration
- Planning change, monitoring for implementation and aligning initiatives and resources
School and district improvement programs include:
- Distributed Leadership: focuses on implementing professional learning communities and creating opportunities for leadership across the organization.
- DPAS II Advanced Training Modules: help administrators use the state evaluation system to drive instructional improvement.
In addition to these programs, DASL customizes services for schools or districts. For example, DASL has:
- Facilitated “data days” for teachers and school leaders.
- Provided training on statewide data systems such as the Correlates of Achievement.
- Conducted instructional walkthroughs and modeled the process for others.
- Supported school communities through leadership transition.
DASL helps schools or districts identify the first step towards improvement. Examples of indicators of capacity in data, instruction, collaboration or planning/monitoring/alignment are available here.
