Areas of Strength

• Student technology use in high schools is common and effective
• For staff, teaching efficacy and school climate in the district overall compare favorably to the national dataset
Areas for Growth
• Engagement for students in middle and high school is low compared to elementary students and to the national dataset
• Though technology is used effectively, there is a wide range of tools in use and opportunity for more consistency across schools
• For staff climate, there is a large variationbetween the highest and lowest performing schools/sites
Reflection Questions
• What specific actions are the schools with more favorable perceptions doing to impact their stakeholders’ results (particularly staff climate)? What can be replicated across other schools in the district?
• What needs to happen to ensure consistent use of technology across all schools, especially the elementary grades?
• How can the district empower younger teachers with less favorable perceptions of their own teaching efficacy?
• What more can the district learn about student engagement in the secondary schools? How useful would be follow-up conversations be to improve perceptions of this topic?
• What follow-up should occur to get more specific information from parents regarding their perceptions?
