The New York State Reform Agenda is defined by the four main goals from Race to the Top (RTT)
- Implementation of the Common Core State Standards (Common Core Standards and Assessments)
- Instructional data systems that measure student success and inform teachers and principals how they can improve their practice (Data Systems for Improvement)
- Recruiting, developing, retaining, and rewarding effective teachers and principals (Effective Staffing/APPR)
- Best practice to turn around lowest achieving schools and continuously improve all schools (Continuous Improvement of Schools)
The energies of SED for 2010-2012 are focused on three goal areas.
1. Establishment of Network Teams and Inquiry Teams
2. Teacher and Principal evaluation systems
3. College and Career Readiness
On the following pages you will find checklists of tasks to guide a district’s pre-requisite work in preparing for these major changes. They are intended to be a spark to assist your thinking as we all move forward in meet the state requirements.
