The basic requirement for effective functioning of the schools is that the public be concerned and involved.”

16 Pillars:Research-based High-leverage Practices

1 STANDARDS-ALIGNED CONSISTENT INSTRUCTION

Curriculum, assessment and teaching are directly aligned with all state standards in all content areas and for all students, with standards at the center of curriculum planning and student learning.

2 EQUITABLE ACCESS TO RIGOROUS, HIGH-LEVEL PROGRAM

All students have access to challenging, on-standard teaching and courses that include coverage of the “power standards” and core content.

3 DIFFERENTIATIONInstructional strategies are differentiated to meet the varied learning needs of each student.

4 CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING

Instruction reflects students’ prior knowledge, learning styles and cultural background; programs and policies integrate the perspectives and needs of diverse stakeholders.

5 DATA-DRIVEN CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

School staff uses frequent and timely formative assessments to monitor and adjust teaching practices, leadership practices and organizational practices.

6 ACCELERATED INTERVENTIONStudents not meeting academic expectations receive immediate and targeted academic and social support.

7 COLLEGIAL COLLABORATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Staff engage in year-round cycles of inquiry (e.g., Eye on the Goal™, Lesson Study), with clear standards of professional practice and accountability.

8 RESULTS-FOCUSED PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

Professional learning is linked to instructional priorities, is standards-based, has clear goals, and meets the individual needs of staff.

9 HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ALLBeliefs and behaviors reflect commonly held high expectations and shared responsibility for professional practices and student learning.

10 EFFECTIVE TEACHER FOR EVERY STUDENT, EFFECTIVE LEADER FOR EVERY SCHOOL

Staffing assignments ensure equitable distribution of teachers and leaders to meet the specific needs of students and schools.

11 NEEDS-BASED RESOURCE ALLOCATION

School resources are focused on strategies that enhance professional practice and accelerate learning for all student populations.

12SUPPORTS FOR STAFF

Teachers, leaders and staff receive timely, focused support and intervention (e.g., coaching, mentoring, peer support, targeted training).

13INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP

The principal and instructional leadership team articulate a clear school vision, and are actively involved in planning, guiding and assessing instruction and student learning.

14 SAFE CLIMATE FOR LEARNING & WORK

The school culture and structures support the social-emotional needs of students, and standards for student and adult conduct are fair and consistently enforced.

15 EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT OPERATIONS

The school has well-established organizational procedures, and day-to-day operations run smoothly to facilitate teaching, learning and leadership.

16 STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILIES AND COMMUNITY

Trust among home-school-community is nurtured through shared responsibility for student success, proactive communication and meaningful stakeholder “voice”.

What we have before us are some breathtaking opportunities disguised as insoluble problems.- John Gardner

Moving Forward as One!™

Strategic Planning. Strategic Alignment. Strategic Leadership.

Our Premise. Our Purpose. All students will learn at high levels when instruction meets their needs.What a student has learned well already, is something she/he has been taught well already. And what a student has not learned well yet, is something she/he has not been taught well yet. Student learning, then, is an “effect” whose “cause” lies in the quality and effectiveness of educational practices.

If we want improved outcomes for students, the starting point must be the continuous improvement of teaching practices, leadership practices and organizational practices, because they are the precursors to student learning.

Created in 1997 by Mutiu O. Fagbayi, Performance Fact, Inc. collaborates with leaders, teachers, staff, and community partners by aligning our external expertise with their internal vision for their schools and communities. Our approach centers on strengthening the competence, confidence and commitment of practitioners so that, over time, they sustain the “internal muscles” vital for building stronger schools and accelerating learning for all students … from thought to finish.
