Data Collection
Key areas the evaluation or audit will focus on include:
- Workforce diversity
- Access to quality teaching
- Discipline practices
- Gaps in student achievement
- Access to instructional supports
- Resource allocation
- Intentional academic learning
- Cultural responsiveness of the core curriculum
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is composed of parents, non-licensed and licensed staff, and a school board member. The committee will consult with the AIR team throughout the evaluation by sharing insights about the district and the community, and providing input on how best to tailor the evaluation to the needs of the WSD3 community. The committee will also serve as community liaisons helping to raise awareness about the evaluation and to engage stakeholders so that as many voices as possible are heard.
Focus Groups
There are five focus groups including two groups of parents, two groups of staff, and one group of students. Each group has between 8 to 12 people who volunteered or were recruited to represent all areas of our school district. These groups will also provide insights that will be used toward the evaluation of the district.
