    • Minimum teaching experience of three years for all educators
    • At least 60% of campus-based administrators and educators must have demonstrated instructional effectiveness in the previous school year

Pre-Planning Considerations

  • How will the Planning Year Leader be supported by Human Resources and Finance to develop a strategic compensation plan?
  • Does this leader have a clear vision for the Resource campus requirements and preparing educators?
  • What data, processes, and tools will be used to select effective educators for the school?
  • How will you need to prepare and train your staff to implement the new Resource campus requirements and ACE model with HQIM and aligned, embedded assessments with fidelity?
  • How will campus structures and routines provide educators with consistent observation and feedback cycles, and opportunities for regular data analysis and PLCs?
