Frameworks to Gather and Analyze Process Data
Districts and Schools will gather and analyze process data annually. The District Improvement Framework 2.0 and the School Improvement Framework 2.0 provide the standards and key indicators for measuring quality processes for K-12 systems. To document their work districts complete the District System Review (DSR) and schools complete the School System Review (SSR). Schools and districts can complete these reviews using ASSIST diagnostics.

Is what we're doing in education working to improve teaching and learning ... how do we know?
This essential question summarizes the two aligned frameworks: District Improvement Framework 2.0 (DIF) and School Improvement Framework 2.0 (SIF).

Involving stakeholders in the gathering data and analyzing the Improvement Frameworks.
There are practical ways to involve stakeholders in the completion the Improvement Frameworks without the administrator completing the report in solitude. Ideally, the district/school would have selected a few indicators to focus on over a three- to five-year period. Here are a few practical steps:
Option 1: Review responses from last year's Improvement FrameworkReview last year's report and discuss ONLY those few indicators you decided to focus on previously.
Option 2: Survey StaffPreview and Directions

Option 3: DIVIDE AND CONQUER
OR a 4th OPTION:

2) DISCUSS: In addition to the staff discussion above, have a smaller group of staff (i.e. SI Team) look over the responses collectively, transfer to DSR or SSR documents, and answer any additional questions not tied to a specific indicator. Typically, groups choose a couple indicators to celebrate and a few indicators on which to focus. You may also wish to have the staff brainstorm possible ways to improve their status on the focus indicators, as this will eventually tie directly to the School Improvement Plan.
