A school leader
- Understands the strategic planning process and how to use and interpret multiple sources of data to ensure continuous improvement toward the vision and goals
- Frames of reference that anchor analysis across the entire course
Aligns analysis to the school’s mission, vision, core values, and measurable goals; every conclusion must trace to how it advances academic success and well-being for each student.

Applies an equity lens throughout: disaggregate every dataset, look for gaps, identify systemic root causes, and test strategies that close opportunity and achievement gaps.
