Theory of Action
- If the community is aware of and supportive of essential core skills
- If the school board has an understanding of current best practices in teaching and learning and responsibly allocates resources aligned with goals
- If administrators understand district goals and initiatives and actively help others make connections and if administrators are accountable for implementation of best practices and essential skills
- If teachers provide high levels of instruction using best practices and relate the content to students’ lives beyond school
- If parents understand and promote active, consistent attendance and active classroom participation
- If students understand why the Iowa Core content is important and relevant to their lives and are engaged in learning
