Strategies and Suggestions for Using the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement Framework and Incorporating Indigenous Knowledge Systems
Description
This guide offers school leaders and leadership teams a supplement to the Four Domains for Rapid School Improvement: A Systems Framework and its related CALL survey system. It was developed to help focus your improvement efforts on evidence-based practices that match your school’s particular needs.
This version of the guide includes tribally informed, culturally considerate additions from Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS), intended specifically for school leaders and community members working with Bureau of Indian Education and tribally controlled schools.
The guide is organized primarily by the Four Domains framework, and its sections follow the structure in which CALL survey results are reported. Each chapter contains brief descriptions of a Four Domains practice, a school-based example, and relevant topics following the order of CALL survey reports. Sections on these topics provide strategies, suggestions, and reflection questions to help guide your school’s efforts toward rapid school turnaround.
More About the Four Domains
The Four Domains framework, developed by WestEd’s Center for School Turnaround, was created to assist states, districts, and schools as they pursue systemic efforts to improve students’ educational experiences and outcomes. It identifies critical actions that research and practice suggest can have lasting impacts across all levels of education systems.
The framework is meant to be used in ways that take into account an improvement initiative’s local context and implementation. To help tune their use of the framework, many schools and districts also draw on the related Four Domains Comprehensive Assessment of Leadership for Learning (CALL) survey and feedback system. CALL survey results help leadership teams know where to focus their efforts as they develop and implement school improvement plans appropriate to their context.
