  4. High Effect Size Indicators “The Department’s identified set of indicators on high effect size instructional and leadership strategies with a causal relationship to student learning growth constitute priority issues for deliberate practice and faculty development.” -Florida Department of Education, 2012

  5. Classroom TeacherHigh Effect Indicators School LeadershipHigh Effect Indicators • Learning Goal with Scales • Tracking Student Progress • Established Content Standards • Multi-tiered System of Supports • Clear Goals • Text Complexity • ESOL Students • Feedback Practices • Facilitating Professional Learning • Clear Goals and Expectations • Instructional Resources • High Effect Size Strategies • Instructional Initiatives • Monitoring Text Complexity • Interventions • Instructional Adaptations • ESOL Strategies
