Framework
Together with the Advisory Council, we have developed an Effective Schools Framework, identifying the key components to supporting a high-quality educational experience. The Effective Schools Framework includes Integral Student Supports that foster strong learning, as well as Foundational Conditions that enable these supports to exist and sustain. Schools can engage in a self-evaluation process to identify strengths and needs to inform strategic planning.
Solutions
Sourcewell has a portfolio of solutions, both internally-supported as well as external referrals, that align with the Effective Schools Framework. This includes partnerships with research-based programs such as High Reliability Schools, Modern Teacher, and The Catalyst Approach.
Implementation
District Strategy Partners can support identification of programs and practices that align with school needs and planning. They are also equipped with tools and training which support implementation to ensure fidelity and sustainability.
Impact
In order to monitor effectiveness over time, we have adopted the Redefining Ready framework for measuring readiness as students enter the world. This framework allows us to tell the story better than just standardized testing scores.
