Instruct with focus on Intentionally Designed Learning
Instruction will use the universal elements of Intentional Design to deliver District Essentials supported by systematic processes that identify and respond to individual student needs.
November 2025 Comprehensive Review Executive Summary
| Strategic Priority 2 | Instruct with focus on Intentionally Designed Learning |
| Why is this important | Student performance on BV Essentials, state assessments, and other local measures demonstrates continued growth while identifying opportunities to increase the number of students meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations. Student, family, and staff perception data indicate a need to better meet the individual academic and behavioral needs of all learners. Research supports high-quality Tier 1 instruction as the most effective way to improve learning outcomes, with systematic intervention providing additional support when needed. The Strategy Team and District Accountability Committee identified standardizing the district’s Response to Intervention (RtI) process as a key strategy to ensure timely, consistent, and equitable support for students. |
| Action steps related to the priority | See details of the two major actions: Priority 2 Detail of Action and Resource Allocation Action 1: Response to Intervention (RtI) Standardizing and strengthening the effective use of Tier 1 instructional practices through Intentional Design (IDA) while implementing a consistent district-wide RtI process that uses common criteria, student data, and evidence-based interventions to meet individual academic and behavioral needs. Action 2: BV Essentials Teaching, assessing, and monitoring BV Essentials through high-quality Tier 1 instruction that explicitly develops thinking skills, provides clear learning targets and feedback, and makes student learning expectations and performance accessible to students, families, and staff. |
| Evidence of Implementation | Deliverables for Priority 2 1. A Consistent and Effective RtI System ~ RtI meetings occur regularly using a standardized district process, documentation, and decision-making protocols. ~ Aligned eligibility criteria and decision rules for Tier 3 academic and behavioral supports are implemented consistently across schools. ~ Academic and behavioral intervention plans are developed, monitored, and adjusted based on student progress and needs. ~ Student performance data, BV Essentials results, and intervention data are routinely reviewed during team meetings to guide instructional and intervention decisions. 2. Strong Tier 1 Instruction in Every Classroom ~ Category 1 IDA elements are consistently evidenced in classrooms across the district. ~ Learning targets, success criteria, and actionable feedback are consistently embedded throughout the instructional process. ~ Thinking Strategies, Social Studies Thinking Skills, and Science & Engineering Practices (SEPs) are explicitly taught and assessed through Tier 1 instruction. 3. BV Essentials Driving Teaching, Learning, and Reporting ~ BV Essentials are accessible by students, families, staff, and district leadership and summarized through a scope and sequence ~ Student progress on BV Essentials is reported and monitored at the student, school, and district levels. ~ Updated ENDS and student outcome data are maintained and accessible through district reporting systems. ~ Grading practices increasingly reflect competency, participation, and growth rather than task completion alone. |
| Evidence of Impact | The STUDENT SUCCESS and SYSTEM SUPPORT tabs provide the current measures for monitoring impact. For Priority 2, impact to be monitored: Academics and Critical Thinking: – BV Essentials – trends of 85% or more at 3- or higher – State growth scores advancing – State achievement scores trending beyond state average – Fewer than 15% of students in K-5 receiving reading services – Fewer than 15% of students in K-5 receiving math services – CCHS Edgenuity benchmark of 80% completion or higher Curriculum and Instruction Executive Summary: Rating at Level of Impact |
