Performance Management

Performance Management fosters a culture of employee engagement and alignment with District
goals to achieve results. In FY24, the Department of Professional Development supported
evaluation systems for all employee groups. In addition, the department implemented employee
training in CLEAR Coaching (Contract, Listen, Explore, Action, Review), a systematic
transformational coaching model.

Single School Culture Coordinators

The District’s Single School Culture Coordinators (SSCC) serve as resident experts, adaptable instructional leaders, and
pivotal figures in providing academic, behavioral, and climate support for school-based leadership teams, teachers, and
staff. The vision for the District’s Single School Culture program is that all school-based employees are dedicated to effective
practices and performance expectations centered on student achievement.

FY24 presented a unique set of new State requirements regarding testing and benchmarks for student achievement. The
new standards and curriculum required particular focus and attention to aligning instruction while guiding teachers to
make informed decisions using all available data sources.

Support for SSCC included monthly professional learning sessions, on-demand mini-professional learning and individual
coaching sessions. To tailor support to SSCC particular needs, the program planners regularly collaborated with school
leadership teams and District-based departmental and instructional specialists.
