​Not PL Ready/ PL Ready
Consistent Practice/ Personalized 
Clear, Well Established Campus Vision​
  • ​​Vision is either not visible or is visible only in text and is not evidenced through practices on campus.
  • There is a clearly articulated vision that incorporates PL, this vision is shared in text, by stakeholders orally, and is observable in the artifacts displayed throughout campus.
  • Vision is also evidenced through actions seen on campus, e.g., classroom practices, scheduling decisions, design of physical space, stakeholder engagement, etc.
Vision + Values Alignment ​
Core values are either not visible or are not evidenced through practices on campus.
  • The campus core values are articulated and observable in various formats throughout campus.
  • Vision and core values are observable in staff and stakeholder actions (e.g., classroom practices, scheduling decisions, design of physical space, stakeholder engagement, etc.).
Execution of Strategy ​
  • Strategic planning is either not happening or has occurred but not put into action. 
  • If strategic planning is evidenced on campus, the decisions made do not maximize the campus’ ability to implement PL practices.
  • School leadership does not understand the principles of execution of strategy. ​
  • Campus strategic planning is aligned to the school vision such that all or most school structures and programming allow for all students to thrive in a PL setting, (e.g., there are ongoing classroom observations for PL practices, feedback is provided to teachers about their implementation of PL practices, PD includes opportunities to model and support PL practices, hiring incorporates selecting for PL qualified candidates, scheduling decisions are made to maximize ability to implement PL practices, etc.).
  • School leadership uses the principles of execution of strategy and applies those to ensure ongoing success of the campus. ​
Change Management ​
  • Change management is either not visible or is visible only in text and is not evidenced through practices on campus.
  • Change is mandated from the top-down and there is evidence of resistance or fatigue to change among the staff. ​
  • A change management strategy based on innovation is in place and is evidenced across campus through: leadership modeling, processes for addressing challenges, processes for continuous improvement and is evidenced through campus discourse at all levels (including students - i.e., if I struggle, I can try again).
