Using a value-added approach, choose one school, examine the test data for that school. Use the data to identify school goals, assess organizational effectiveness, and create and implement plans to achieve school goals (ISLLC 1.B). More specifically, answer the following questions:

1: Analysis of data
Using a value-added approach, choose one school, examine the test data for that school. Use the data to identify school goals, assess organizational effectiveness, and create and implement plans to achieve school goals (ISLLC 1.B). More specifically, answer the following questions:
What are the strengths in student performance as indicated by the data?
What are the areas in need of improvement?
What recommendations would you make to improve student achievement based on the analysis of the test data? Be sure to consider high-quality, technology-rich curricula programs and other supports for academic and non-academic student programs. (ISSLC 1.D, NELP 4.1)
Consider how you will evaluate, develop, and implement formal and informal culturally responsive and accessible assessments that support data-informed instructional improvement and student learning and well-being.
Include information on emerging trends and initiatives by including what theory, research, course readings, internship experiences and other concepts should be utilized in analyzing the case? Include research around how to collaboratively evaluate, develop, and implement the school’s curriculum, instruction, technology, data systems, and assessment practices in a coherent, equitable, and systematic manner. (Include a minimum 3-5 research references) (NELP 4.4)
3: Reflecting:
How does this case provide a mirror and a window to your own school practices?
How does it challenge you as you approach your own practice?
How would you move forward strategically with a different / more well informed / best practices approach?
How did you act with reflection, integrity and fairness to ensure that you are being accountable for every student’s academic and social success? (NELP 2.1)
What might we predict the leadership challenges to be?
4: Leadership Lessons:
Articulate 3 to 5 leadership lessons from this case study to guide your own practice and the practice of others.
What are some leadership competencies and ethical dispositions that an effective leader needs when organizing and directing continuous school improvement planning? Reflect on your decisions in terms of established ethical practices (NELP 2.3)
