| They should be implemented. | |
| No | |
| No | |
| No one assessement is an accurate metric of student achievement | |
| Districts must have a response to intervention (RTI) system in place in all schools. Regular classroom instruction should work for about 80% of students. Different instruction techniques are needed for the remaining 20%. Additional classes, different teaching practices and cultural awareness all play a big part in effectively reaching this 20%.Districts must have a philosophy and framework for this instruction, and be accountable to install it in all schools. | |
| Expulsion should be used for serious offenses to ensure the safety of other students as well as the integrity of education at district schools. | |
| School boards must be sure that "best teaching practices" are utilized in under performing schools. These teaching practices must take into account all of the unique characteristics of the student body, and be thorough in addressing the needs found there. | |
| No | |
| Put underperforming teachers on a probationary period while they seek to improve. | |
| School boards must operate in open and transparent ways. Steps must be taken to solicit feedback from the community on the performance of the school district. The community should be able to see positive district/board response to challenges noted in the communication feedback loop. |
