Creating a Framework to Sharpen Our Focus Gary Baldwin, Superintendent; Dan Walker and Carlton Kuhns, Assistant Superintendents Lower Kuskokwim School District LKSD is continuing to build on work with the Principals’ PLC Initiative started in 2010 – 2011. As a district we were trying to break-out beyond pockets of excellence to raise expectations and performance across the district. We were also trying to respond to problems identified by our site administrators: lack of clarity about direction and vision; fidelity of implementation efforts; and addressing initiative burn-out – we were trying to do too much. Our intention was to collectively build a framework that would respond to these three problems as well as help us integrate these efforts using the local expertise we had built-up over the years. We did this by promoting coherence around three specific areas: SIOP – Sheltered Instructional Observation Protocol; School Climate – Positive Behavior Supports – Every child can learn; and ; and a complete look at our academic program with a focus on RTI.
