Indistar - District and School Structure and Culture

Five Key Areas of Effectiveness
District and School Structure and Culture
Educator Effectiveness
Family and Community Involvement
Teaching and Learning
Technical and Adaptive Leadership

For district and school structure and culture to be effective, a sustainable plan for school access and student opportunity is needed. Long-term goals for improvement are created. Periodic perception checks with students and staff, as well as the gathering of other data on overall school climate, are used to evaluate progress on goals and make adjustments as necessary. Scheduling is flexible and responsive to student’s needs with expanded learning options throughout the year. The curriculum is academically rigorous, with high expectations of achievement for all. A respectful environment provides safety for those who work and learn there. When needed, student discipline is reinforced with support for positive behavior. Non-academic factors such as social, emotional, and health needs are addressed to the extent possible. Cultural awareness and an understanding of diversity among students, staff, and community is an integral part of the shared vision at both district and school levels.
