  • Establishing board/superintendent goals and
    action plans

  • Internal instructional accountability programming
    for schools and school districts

  • Literacy staff development, K-12

  • Instructional program assessment strategies

  • Hiring and retention of staff inservice

  • ELA and math program analysis/recommendations K-12

  • School leadership development

  • Search consulting for principal and assistant superintendent positions

  • Human resource analysis focusing on compliance and
    regulatory issues

Professional Development Planning
A team from CASDA will work with individual districts to create or update a professional development plan by meeting with focus groups representing all members of the staff. By developing and administering surveys, and analyzing survey results and other data, the plan will keep staff updated and close the instructional gap.

Mentor Training & Mentor Program Evaluation
New teachers must have a mentored experience in partial fulfillment of a professional certificate. A team from CASDA will work with individual districts to develop on-site mentor training with built-in support seminars. Mentor program evaluation is also available.
