CSI
By June 2027, EES will strengthen the implementation and monitoring of a consistent, schoolwide instructional framework and collaborative data-use processes aligned to NCDPI Indicators A4.01 and D1.02. At least 90% of instructional staff will consistently implement agreed-upon instructional practices and participate in data-driven collaborative planning, as evidenced by walkthrough data, PLC documentation, lesson planning, and data meeting records. Student performance data will be reviewed at least quarterly to identify needs, adjust instruction, and monitor the effectiveness of interventions, resulting in the SWD subgroup meeting the state’s long term goal of 55.9% by 2028-2029 on identified school-wide measures.
