The following questions will help to guide your work to ensure that your school has an effective structure for capturing the most effective instructional, assessment, and intervention practices of teachers and collaborative teams. Each question has a hyperlink to a resource depository where you will place documents, evidence, and/or artifacts from your work. This repository can be used to provide resources to schools, teachers, and teams (change in all GEARS) that are having trouble answering a question. Additionally, your Project Momentum support team may assist you with feedback and needed resources along the way.

How has technology been used to support school-wide, teacher, and team efforts to catalog effective practices?
How do you ensure that teachers and collaborative teams reflect on their instructional, assessment, and intervention practices after completing the steps of or a revolution of the Gears cycle? How do they utilize protocols to support this function?
How do you identify and record school-wide, teacher, and team reflections (strengths, areas of need, and refinements) so this information can be retrieved to strengthen practices in upcoming units and during the following school year? How do you measure the impact of this system?
How is your digital system organized and accessed by teachers and other stakeholders?
How are your reflective protocols linked to the strategic improvement plan for the school and/or district in the short (30-60-90 day plans) and long (yearly school improvement plan) terms?
