Balanced
Scorecard --
Our Measurement Tool
In 2000-01, the school system introduced a measurement tool called the Balanced
Scorecard. The scorecard measures progress in all parts of the organization
and guides school and administrative operations in planning, goal setting,
and monitoring. Using data, targeted goals are set in the areas of student
achievement, stakeholder involvement and satisfaction, instructional and administrative
processes, staff learning and growth, and financial performance.
8-Step Instructional Process --
Our Classroom Teaching Model
Aligned with the its See-Plan-Do-Check continual improvement process, the school
system developed a classroom model for academic improvement. The 8-Step Instructional
Process supports good teaching practices using a common language and consistent
instruction planning.
The eight steps include the following:
1. Data disaggregation
2. Instructional timeline
3. Instructional focus
4. Assessment
5. Tutorials
6. Enrichment
7. Maintenance
8. Monitoring
