In addition to DPR, the district needs to accept each SPR:

DPR Activity Consider last year’s DPR graph and last year’s SPR graphs -Do you have consistency throughout each building and district report? -What evidence/artifacts support these ratings?

District Improvement Plan 1.Look at the district goals summary page. 2.Look at the Activity Summary by School 3. In the margin, using the goal #, mark each activity with the goal number that corresponds.

District Improvement Plan Is every school working on this goal and is it reflected in their SIP? What progress is being made and how do you know? What is the impact on student achievement and how do you know? Is it consistent with the DPR in this area? What else might be needed to support district alignment?
