What is the difference between a campus needs assessment and a campus improvement plan?

# data[].attributes.subject
What is the difference between a campus needs assessment and a campus improvement plan?

# data[].attributes.body
The campus needs assessment identifies the needs of the campus and includes information on academic achievement for failing or at-risk of failing students. The Campus Improvement Plan not only has the identified campus needs, but has strategies for how to meet those needs using Title 1 funds to address the needs of the students (TEA, 2018).

What is the definition of the term "supplement, not supplant"?

# data[].attributes.body
"The term “supplement, not supplant” is a provision common to many federal statutes authorizing education grant programs. There is no single supplement, not supplant provision. Rather, the wording of the provision
varies depending on the various statutes. In order to be in compliance with each program’s version of the supplement, not supplant requirements, LEAs must be cognizant of how the provision is applied in each specific program" (TEA, 2019).
In other words, it means that federal funds cannot be used to perform a service that would normally be paid for with state or local funds. No double-dipping.

What is the Effective Schools Framework and why is it significant? Please provide a list and brief definition of the five levers. 

# data[].attributes.body
"The goal of the Effective Schools Framework (ESF) is to provide a clear vision for what districts and schools across the state do to ensure an excellent education for all Texas students. ESF supports school and district continuous improvement efforts by providing the basis for the ESF diagnostic process and the foundation for the alignment of resources and supports to the needs each school.

Lever 1: Strong School Leadership-Effective campus instructional leaders with clear roles and responsibilities develop, implement, and monitor focused improvement plans that address the causes of low performance.

Lever 2: Effective, well-supported teachers-Campus leadership retains effective, well-supported teachers by strategically recruiting, selecting, assigning, and building the capacity of teachers so that all students have access to high-quality educators.

Lever 3: Positive School Culture-Positive school culture requires compelling and aligned vision, mission, goals and values, explicit behavioral expectations and management systems, proactive and responsive student support services, and involved families and community.

Lever 4: High-quality Curriculum-All students have access to a TEKS-aligned, guaranteed and viable curriculum, assessments, and resources to engage in learning at appropriate levels of rigor.

Lever 5: Effective Instruction-All students have rigorous learning experiences because the school ensures objective-driven daily lessons, classroom routines, and formative assessments that yield the data necessary for teachers to reflect, adjust, and deliver instruction that meets the needs of each student."
