have reached high reliability status for that level. However, the school is not finished once criterion scores have been met for a given level. Rather, the school then identifies ways to collect quick data to monitor its status and acknowledge success on a periodic basis—say, once a month.

      If after administering leading indicator surveys, a school has no low scores on items that are important to the school, then it moves directly to identifying lagging indicators. Once the lagging indicators have been met, the school can consider itself to have reached high reliability status for the level and move to monitoring its status and celebrating success using quick data on a regular basis. Figure I.4 explains how to obtain high reliability status at any given level.

      A school will continue the process described in figure I.4 until it has reached high reliability status at all five levels and can declare itself a high reliability school. At such a point, the school would continue to use quick data to monitor its status and success at all five levels. Whenever quick data indicate that a lagging indicator for any level has slipped below the acceptable level, the school leader immediately intervenes to bring the school up to acceptable levels of performance on the fluctuating indicator.

      This handbook has one chapter for each high reliability level. Each of these chapters begins with the recommended leading indicators for that level. We then present a series of surveys (for teachers and staff, administrators, students, and parents) based on those leading indicators. School leaders can use these surveys to get a preliminary idea of what leading indicators they may need to work on. Once members of the school community have completed the surveys and the results have been compiled, school leaders can identify which, if any, leading indicators need to be addressed in the school.

      To address leading indicators, school leaders can use the critical commitments detailed in the chapter for each level: chapter 1 addresses how to implement the professional learning community (PLC) process; chapter 2 gives guidance about creating an evaluation system whose primary purpose is teacher development; chapter 3 speaks to continually monitoring the viability of the curriculum, creating a comprehensive vocabulary program, and using direct instruction in knowledge application and metacognitive skills; chapter 4 focuses on developing proficiency scales for essential content and reporting status and growth on the report card using those proficiency scales; and chapter 5 gives direction about getting rid of time requirements and adjusting reporting systems accordingly. These critical commitments can guide leaders as they work on areas identified by the leading indicator surveys.

      If survey results indicate that no leading indicators need to be addressed, school leaders can move on to identifying lagging indicators and criterion scores that will be used to measure whether or not the school has achieved high reliability status for the level. To facilitate this process, each chapter provides a template that leaders can use to identify these indicators and scores, as well as example lagging indicators that school leaders could use. Once the lagging indicators have been created and the criterion scores set, school leaders gather data and other information to track their progress toward and achievement of high reliability status for that level.

      Finally, each chapter lists specific questions (for quick conversations) and incidents (for quick observations) that school leaders can use to gather quick data for that level. Each chapter also provides examples of easy-to-collect quantitative data, which allow school leaders to continually monitor their school’s performance on previously achieved high reliability levels and celebrate success.
