Using the framework and indicators, districts and schools can drive permanent, positive, and significant impacts on student achievement by synthesizing multiple complex initiatives into one harmonious system.

Resources for Quick Data Collection

These resources can facilitate data collection in schools at every level.

Sample Quick Conversations Response Form

Quick conversations are brief discussions that occur between teachers and various members of a school community. This form can be used to record responses to quick conversation questions using the following scale: excellent means that the respondent believes the school is performing above what would normally be expected for the issue; adequate means that the respondent believes there are no major problems relative to the issue; and unsatisfactory means that the respondent believes there are major problems relative to the issue that should be addressed. Anecdotal notes about other pertinent information from the conversation can also be recorded.

Anecdotal Notes for Quick Observation

Quick observations are specific events that teachers look for in a school. For example, teachers might be asked to look for events that indicate the school is a safe place or events that indicate the school is not a safe place. Quick observation data can be collected and recorded (by briefly describing relevant incidents) using this form.

High Reliability Schools Short-Form Survey

This survey is designed to give school leaders a general picture of the current state of their school. It can be administered to teachers, staff, and administrators to get a quick snapshot of the school’s strengths and weaknesses. Responses can be used to facilitate initial discussions around becoming a high reliability school.
