The following are SRVUSD's "Guiding Questions" for the 2012-13 school year. These questions act as annual goals related to the District's Framework for Excellence, and will be used throughout the year to create conversations about school and department practices.  

RIGOR

1. Describe the academic performance of your students. How are you moving all students to higher academic achievement levels? What students does your school need to target?
2. What instructional strategies and programs are being implemented for your students? What benchmark evidence demonstrates the strategies and programs are working?
3. What evidence do you have that demonstrates students are being challenged in higher-level thinking tasks based in real world problems?
4. In what ways are you articulating both vertically (K-12) and horizontally (at the department/grade level) within your school and across the district to ensure better communication?

RELEVANCE

1. Describe how your school is using the District Framework for Excellence to move instruction, assessment and learning into Daggett’s Quadrant D?
2. How do your teachers use instructional technology to increase relevance in their lessons?
3. How are you helping your parent community understand the importance of relevant curriculum and common core standards?

RELATIONSHIPS

1. Describe the culture/climate on your site for adults and students. What are some of the climate issues on your campus and how are you addressing them?
2. In what ways does your school foster positive relationships between staff, parents, students, and the broader community we serve? How do you know it is working?
3. How are you ensuring that every student has at least one meaningful connection with an adult on your campus?
