Which team/group has collective responsibility for
leading P-3 efforts?
Is there a shared/collective strategic plan –
endorsed across organizations – to guide the work?
Is there “glue funding” that keeps the cross-sector
work prominent and engaging?

Administrator Effectiveness
How do administrators exhibit public support for P-3
work?
How do administrators foster teamwork? Not just
within own building, but across sectors?
How do you ensure that administrators are
effective instructional leaders for young children?
Teacher Effectiveness
How are teachers supported to focus on and
improve their instruction?
How do teachers share their classroom practices
and strategies with each other?
How frequently do teachers collaborate as teams –
both horizontally and vertically?

Instructional Tools
Do all programs/teachers use a common set of standards
that are aligned along a developmental continuum, P-3?
How do schools/programs select and implement
balanced, developmental, and common curricula?
How do teachers use common formative assessment
processes/data to inform their instruction?
Learning Environment
How do you ensure that learning environments are
culturally inclusive?
What evidence do you have that environments promote
relationships – both among children and adults?
What kinds of supports are provided to ensure all
classrooms are equipped to engage diverse learners?

Data-driven Improvement
What sources of child assessment data are used to identify
achievement gaps and to differentiate resources?
What sources of program data are used to identify
effectiveness and to re-align resources?
Engaged Families

priority for all school- and program-based staff?
What are the different ways in which you ensure two-
way communication with families?
How are families engaged in shared leadership and
