Coaching/Professional Interest Need This is a small school district, there are 3 administrators and a business manager that will likely engage in this work as a team. They want to ensure that they embed community/staff/student voice in the process of redeveloping the district mission and vision. The coaching and professional learning is aimed at building the capacity of the district leaders to collaboratively plan, implement and sustain systems that support their improvement efforts. They want to develop an approach that includes monitoring their efficacy of implementation over time.

Two buildings, a K-6 and a 7-12.

Teachers and leaders will become more adept at making decisions tied to vision/mission and strategic plan as well as help refine and develop strategic plan that will best impact student outcomes.

Potential Challenges for Vendors: We are so small, that it is a unique environment to work in. Complexities associated with change and transformation that might be present in any educational community.

Desired Beginning Date: As soon as is possible to begin planning for the 25-26 school year.

Related LPTS & Progress Markers Longitudinal Performance Growth Targets (LPGTs) are required by each district that participates in SIA funding (virtually all Oregon districts). They are important to consider when developing coaching plans and may, over time, be important for the coaching vendor to attend to when providing intermittent updates on progress made via coaching services.

Districts also report programmatic and budget progress quarterly, attending to the potential growth toward key Progress Markers in those reports. Progress Markers inform behavioral and systemic changes long before the types of outcomes captured in LPGTs are seen or realized. Coaching vendors should attend to these Progress Markers when providing progress reports on coaching to the districts served.

Suggested alignment between the Progress Markers and Coaching Focal Areas are as follows:

· Early & Middle School Literacy

· PM 3 (Data Teaming), 4 (Literacy Inventory) and 8 (Literacy Plan/Program)

· Community Engagement

· PM1 (engagement is authentic, consistent, and ongoing). PM5 (Two-way communication practices are in place), PM6 (Student agency and voice is elevated), PM11 (Schools strengthen partnerships with active community organizations and partners)

· Equitable Mindsets, Practices & Systems

· PM2 (Equity tools are utilized in continuous improvement cycles)

· Fiscal Stewardship

· PM12 (high-quality spending and resource allocation review) Additional Progress Markers to consider tracking when planning coaching services and reporting on coaching progress:

· PM7, PM9, PM10, PM13, PM14, PM15
