CFIP “A six-step process for increasing
student achievement that is planned and carried out by teachers meeting in grade level, content, or vertical teams as a part of their regular lesson planning cycle.” mdk12.org
CFIP
“What do we know from available
data about current levels of student performance and how will we

CFIP
Why do researchers and practitioners advocate for the use of assessment data to guide instruction?
Why do the authors describe the process of developing and implementing a system of common formative assessments as "engaging in authentic professional development?”
What are the benefits and possible roadblocks for establishing PLCs (Professional Learning Communities)?

CFIP.
Does your school meet these pre-conditions?
Would a struggling, urban school meet them??
CFIP

CFIP
2. Common planning time for team members consisting, at a minimum, of one hour twice weekly, of which one hour every two weeks is devoted exclusively to the CFIP
CFIP
3. A principal who is a strong instructional leader and who is comfortable with the concept of shared leadership
CFIP
4. Norms to guide the team's process of collaborative data analysis
CFIP
5. Autonomy for the team to adjust teaching practices and interventions based on data from assessments of their students' learning
CFIP
6. Use of short-cycle, common, formative assessments by the team
