Curriculum Expectations

• Ensure that all teachers fully implement a high-quality, deeply rigorous, and fully aligned TEKS Resource System curriculum.
• Understand what is required by the TEKS Resource System curriculum and monitor implementation with fidelity. 
• When observing instruction, identify student objectives, and English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS) are posted and part of the campus expectations for instruction. 
• Lead the campus in following the ECISD Professional Learning Communities Framework. 
• Set the expectation, based on the TEA’s Effective School’s Framework and Texas Instructional Leadership approach for lesson plan quality and completion. Sample: Elementary lesson plan template, Secondary lesson plan template; ESF sample lesson plan template

Instruction & Feedback

• The entire campus leadership team will make daily time in classrooms a priority and will collect evidence and share feedback on teaching and learning.
• Use Eduphoria to document walkthroughs as a vehicle for clearly articulating to teachers, evidence that instruction matches the rigor of the TEKS and that students are learning.
• Engage in regularly scheduled walkthroughs with a focus on adhering to legal guidelines and making the general education curriculum accessible to all learners.  (ELL, Rti, BIP, IEP, GT, and At-Risk).
• Use time assigned for faculty meetings as a learning time for teachers to focus on instruction. 
• Provide support in teacher growth and development. 

Data-Driven Instruction (DDI)

• Develop and sustain a culture of data-driven assessments, analysis, and action to ensure improved student outcomes.
• Use Eduphoria Aware to analyze common assessments and/or performance tasks that measure grade-level progress on TEKS and STAAR readiness.
• Conduct ongoing data analysis that follows the ECISD Professional Learning Community Handbook. 
• Monitor so that all teachers systematically re-teach, provide interventions, and adjust teaching practices based on analysis of student progress and state standards.

Culture of Safety & Development

• Set the tone so that all educators report feeling part of a safe, risk-taking environment where it is safe to try new things and get smarter at implementing the state standards.
• Communicate expectations for all adults to develop and continuously improve through practice, feedback, and reflection.  Conduct annual campus needs assessments and progress evaluations. 
• Constantly message and model a “kids first” culture and call out behavior and language which violate such a culture.
• Constantly message and foster an environment in which professional growth is a process that involves a growth mindset for staff and students. 
• Monitor that staff is “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” and greeting students at the door. 
• Monitor that all teachers have clearly posted Classroom Expectations.
• Set an expectation for teachers to contact and communicate with parents regularly.
