Office of
School Performance

  • Overview

    Principal leadership is second only to teaching among all school-based factors that contribute to student learning. The Office of School Performance intentionally works to support and supervise principals as they develop their instructional leadership skills.  Senior Directors engage their principals in a variety of learning opportunities such as classroom observations, Professional Learning Communities and Staff Professional Development. These opportunities allow for Senior Directors to coach and provide differentiated support to building leaders to promote culturally responsive instruction, accelerated student learning and student, staff and family engagement. 

    OSP Team Purpose

    The PPS Office of School Performance (OSP) serves schools, students, and families by

    • Supporting school site administrators
    • Being the conduit/bridge between central office and schools & programs, and
    • Disrupting the status quo within our system

    to ensure a relentless focus on improving student achievement & eliminating racial disproportionality with an emphasis on Black and Native students.

    OSP Theory of Action

    If OSP incorporates common expectations, a consistent PDSA cycle with clear coaching and feedback with building principals honing in on Domain 2 and Domain 3 of the Charlotte Danielson framework, and on principal leadership with ILTs and PLCs paying close attention to Black and Native student data as indicated on SCIP goals then…

    Building leaders will get into every teacher’s classroom at least 3 times during the year giving feedback on the instruction that they are seeing and they will define, model and structure school systems so ILTs and PLCs are consistently meeting in adherence to SCIP goals and their theories of action then…

    Teachers on the ILT will plan engaging professional development and all teachers will collaborate using the unit planning cycle in PLCs with data, and they will use high quality instructional materials and instruction that is engaging to all students paying close attention to how their Black and Native students are doing then…

    • All students, especially Black and Native students, will be actively engaged in academic discourse and will be seen and heard asking open-ended questions of one another related to the task AND…

    • All students, especially our Black and Native students, will be able to articulate the learning targets, what success means based on the targets and the relevance of the lesson in reference to the current, the past and future learning AND…

    • All students, especially our Black and Native students will be actively engaged in grade level aligned tasks using high quality instructional materials AND…
