Gorham Schools District Leadership Team
Gorham, Maine
Creating cohesion across the K-12 system
Why They Use It:
At first, to gather evidence about everyday instruction, to inform the district’s identification of K-12 anchor practices, and to cultivate a shared instructional vision.
Later, to help each school in the district actively implement and track their school improvement plans.
How They Use It:
The District Leadership Team used it during Site Visits (instructional rounds or learning walks) at each school in the district.
School leaders use it with their school-based teams, to support and track their school improvement plans. They also use Small Wins data to share their progress story at the annual district Data Retreat.
ONE SMALL WIN
Use of the Small Wins Dashboard helped the District Leadership Team develop a coherent approach across the system, and ensured that teaching & learning was a priority topic throughout the year.
