Campus Support Teams are learning communities that comprise leaders from all central office departments designed to conduct monthly walk throughs in collaboration with campus leadership teams for the purpose of providing feedback and identifying ongoing supports to promote the effective implementation of the district curriculum. SAY: WHY? CST’s were chosen to promote a partnership between campus level leaders, teachers, and central office leaders. This partnership will help to establish a support team that comes together to gauge implementation of the curriculum along a continuum of practice. Data collected during the CST walks can be used to identify focus areas for professional learning, job embedded supports, and to celebrate successful instructional practices. SAY: HOW? Many forms of instructional walks exist in education from learning walks to instructional rounds, to evaluation systems like T-TESS. Campus Support Teams takes the best practices from each and places a focus on identifying levels of implementation and corresponding supports to shift practice using a collaborative team. You may need to give an example here of …….. Former walks provided data and feedback but left the strategies for improvement solely on the campus or campus leaders to provide. CST”s allow for a team based approach to sustaining and instructional focus aligned to district priorities. Look at the CST Team assigned to your campus. This team will engage in an Instructional Walk with identified leaders on your campus each month from September to March.
