DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT & CLSD

Connect the tools to one coherent plan.

For district and school improvement—including Comprehensive Literacy State Development (CLSD) work—use these resources to connect materials, teacher support, and evidence of progress.

Start with a specific priority.

Connect the tool to a goal in your literacy or school improvement plan.

Name the action and the owner.

Decide who will lead the work and what support the team needs.

Set a date to examine progress.

Review implementation evidence and student learning, then adjust the support.

Resources are published by the organizations named above and open in a new tab. Select and adapt tools to your local context; CLSD teams should also follow their state’s grant requirements.
