Voices from the Field: Factors Influencing Academic Growth

What are the specific local policies, educator practices, strategies,
and/or systems that you would identify as the primary factors influencing
the high academic growth in your school or district on Connecticut’s
student growth model? The CSDE report Voices from the Field: Factors
Influencing Academic Growth
<https://departmentofeducation.cmail20.com/t/j-l-xddokl-jujulytdlr-v/>
provides insight about which factors influence academic growth. Educators
from 16 communities identified a variety of factors that are organized into
six themes.

1.     Climate, culture, social and emotional factors for students and
teachers

2.     Targeted and focused improvement of curriculum and instruction

3.     Data-based decision making

4.     Responsive and effective professional learning

5.     Personalized learning - meeting students where they are

6.     District-wide coherence

The document provides a more in-depth look at some of these factors through
the experiences of several Connecticut educators.
