Design Principles of the Redesigned Regional Support Structure

1. Build on current successful practices and staffing with the SSoS to continue positive relationships and results 2. Continue hyper-focus on schools in the 10th percentile and below and schools with very low subgroup performance by providing high quality assistance in the development and implementation of Turnaround Plans grounded in the Turnaround Practices and related research 3. Codify, build, and deliver high quality assistance offerings with a track record of success to enhance statewide alignment, create efficiencies, and reduce redundancy, that are responsive to the range of school and district needs 4. Assistance Leads, with equitable caseloads, engage in assistance at both the school and district levels to build capacity for sustainable improvement 5. Use teaming structures to foster responsive, knowledgeable, skillful and high quality delivery of assistance for schools and districts served by the SSoS.

Proactive Turnaround Opportunity 2017-2018 proactively catalyze improvement

Experience and research with Level 4 school turnaround efforts has identified high priority strategies that successful, excited Level 4 schools have leveraged for dramatic school improvement. Much of this research, documented in the Turnaround Practices Report

2014, can be applied to Level 3

school improvement efforts. Reflective planning, evidence based improvement activities based on the Turnaround Practices, and data collection to track progress
