School Visioning: Creating a Shared Vision
School visioning is a process that enables schools to create a vision that is feasible and attainable, connected to deeper values and hopes,
creates a compelling picture of what the school can become in the future, and can be translated into action that can and will be implemented.
For school leadership, knowing where we want the school to be makes it easier to identify the steps needed to get there.
The vision reflects the vision and goals of Richmond Public Schools (RPS)—to graduate globally competitive students—and is based on a
set of core beliefs to which the school community can commit. Goals and key actions identified in the School Progress Plan (SIP) for the
next school year are aligned with the school vision. Having a shared vision for a school is a key to improving its effectiveness.
Our beliefs are about our capacity to ensure that all students learn and graduate globally competitive varies depending on our lived
experiences. Establishing a shared vision that’s rooted in equity starts with unpacking our beliefs so that we come to an agreement about
what is possible and within our control. The final vision statement is an amalgamation of what we collectively believe can be achieved.

Comprehensive Needs Assessment Consider your school’s performance and instructional metrics from 2015-2016.
Performance and Instructional Metrics
Academic Climate
MAP Data, ARDT, and/or iReady,
ELA/Math SOL Data, and
Observation/Evaluation Data
Attendance,
Suspension,
Teacher Perception, Student Perception, and
Parent Perception
Step 1: Identify Three Priority Areas For Your School. After carefully analyzing your school’s data, identify a reason for continuous improvement in each priority area noted in the chart below.
Priority Needs
What is the greatest need (schoolwide, by grade level or subgroup) for the priority area of Reading?
What is the greatest need (schoolwide, by grade level or subgroup) for the priority area of Mathematics?
What is the greatest need (schoolwide, by grade level or subgroup) for the priority area of Climate?

Root Cause Analysis
Reading / English Language Arts
Possible Contributing Factors
(STEP 2)
It is important to understand that there are often factors that contribute to the root but that are not the
root. Contributing factors are separate issues that may, in combination with others, contribute to the
problem. It is a contributing factor if:
The problem may have occurred even if the factor had not been present.
The problem may reoccur as the result of the same factor if the cause is dissolved.
Dissolution of the factor leads to similar events.
Validity Test QDC
(STEP 3) (Question, Data, Control)
(Next to each possible contributing factor, mark an
“X” in each column if the factor passes that validity
test question).
Q –Question: Does the “contributing factor” address the greatest need?
D –Data: Does data support the “contributing
factor”? Refer to available supporting data. C–Control: Is the “contributing factor” within the
school’s control?
Note: If a contributing factor does not pass all three
Validity Test questions, the factor is eliminated.

Goal Setting, Strategy and Key Action Selection
Reading / English Language Arts Given the root cause determined for Reading/English Language Arts, state one goal for the 2016–2017 school year. In RPS, each school is
measured against its own targets and must work to strengthen student growth across all subgroups. Student progress in reading and math for
the elementary and middle school grades is measured by the Measures of Academic Progress (MAPs), VA Standards of Learning (SOL),
Algebra Readiness (ARDT), and the Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS). Similarly, progress in high school is measured by
graduation requirements (i.e., graduation and dropout rates, SAT participation, scores and AP and CTE credits). Goals and targets should
be determined based on these assessments for the priority areas of Reading/English Language Arts and Mathematics. Goals and targets for
the priority area of Climate should be determined based on results indicated by suspension, attendance, or stakeholder (i.e. student, parent,
and staff/teacher) perception data.
The goals identified must specifically address any subgroup or special population not meeting its academic targets for the prior school year.
Refer to the RPS tiering guide for more information on subgroup identification.
Through an equity-based lens, identify strategies, key actions, and monitoring structures that the school will implement to ensure success in
achieving its goals. High-impact strategies and key actions will be monitored on a quarterly basis and will form the basis of learning walks
and monitoring visits from the Superintendent, Executive Directors, the Office of School Improvement and Innovation (OSII), and the
Office of Academic Services (OAS).
Choose a strategy from the list that could eliminate or reduce the root cause. After selecting strategies, identify what the key actions will be
that support student success. Key actions are specific steps or tasks in implementing a particular strategy. For each key action, identify:
What will be done, specifically (including as much detail as possible)
Who will implement it (who is responsible)
Timeline (i.e., when and for how long will this step be implemented). Remember this is a one-year plan.
How you will monitor task completion (Who will be involved? When? What evidence will you collect?)
All denied and reconstituted schools must align key actions to specific essential actions that are in their Corrective Action Plan (CAP).

Focus Area 2– Science
Root Cause Analysis
Science
Possible Contributing Factors
(STEP 2)
It is important to understand that there are often factors that contribute to the root but that are not the
root. Contributing factors are separate issues that may, in combination with others, contribute to the
problem. It is a contributing factor if:
The problem may have occurred even if the factor had not been present.
The problem may reoccur as the result of the same factor if the cause is dissolved.
Dissolution of the factor leads to similar events.
Validity Test QDC
(STEP 3) (Question, Data, Control)
(Next to each possible contributing factor, mark an
“X” in each column if the factor passes that validity
test question).
Q –Question: Does the “contributing factor” address the greatest need?
D –Data: Does data support the “contributing
factor”? Refer to available supporting data. C–Control: Is the “contributing factor” within the
school’s control?
Note: If a contributing factor does not pass all three
Validity Test questions, the factor is eliminated.

You’ve run into a dead end asking what caused the proposed root cause.
Everyone agrees that this is the root cause.
The cause is logical, makes sense, and provides clarity to the problem.
The cause is something the school can influence or control.
If the cause is dissolved, there is a realistic hope that the problem can be reduced or
prevented in the future.

Goal Setting, Strategy and Key Action Selection
Science Given the root cause determined Science, state one goal for the 2016–2017 school year. The goals identified must specifically address any
subgroup or special population not meeting its academic targets for the prior school year. Refer to the RPS tiering guide for more
information on subgroup identification.
Through an equity-based lens, identify strategies, key actions, and monitoring structures that the school will implement to ensure success in
achieving its goals. High-impact strategies and key actions will be monitored on a quarterly basis and will form the basis of learning walks
and monitoring visits from the Superintendent, Executive Directors, the Office of School Improvement and Innovation (OSII), and the
Office of Academic Services (OAS).
Choose a strategy from the list that could eliminate or reduce the root cause. After selecting strategies, identify what the key actions will be
that support student success. Key actions are specific steps or tasks in implementing a particular strategy. For each key action, identify:
What will be done, specifically (including as much detail as possible)
Who will implement it (who is responsible)
Timeline (i.e., when and for how long will this step be implemented). Remember this is a one-year plan.
How you will monitor task completion (Who will be involved? When? What evidence will you collect?)
All denied and reconstituted schools must align key actions to specific essential actions that are in their Corrective Action Plan (CAP).

should be determined based on results indicated by suspension, attendance, or stakeholder (i.e. student, parent, and staff/teacher)
perception data.
The goals identified must specifically address any subgroup or special population not meeting its academic targets for the prior
