(Welcome to Texas Education Agency | Texas Education Agency, 2018)]]> 2020-10-18 22:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/idemas/ryncfuh6b73agz1i/wish/839303773 Effective School Frame Work and It's significance. idemas https://padlet.com/idemas/ryncfuh6b73agz1i/wish/839314252 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. At the core of effective schools is effective instruction: interactions between students, teachers, and content determine learning outcomes. ("framework," 2019)

The Five Levers are as follows:
Lever 1: STRONG SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND PLANNING

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 system, 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. ("framework," 2019)
