EvidenceInterpretationActionRhythmReview

Keep voices distinct

Teacher, student, classroom, residential and institutional evidence illuminate different parts of the system. They are triangulated, not averaged into one score.

Protect the people

School evidence supports learning and improvement. It is not a hidden staff-performance, ranking or surveillance system.

Review in rhythm

Use the Weekly Wave to notice change and the Quarterly Pivot to continue, adjust, stop or escalate.
