The Instructional Leadership Team is comprised of teacher representatives from each school level (K-3, 4-5, 6-8), a counselor, the administrative team, the teacher leaders for GT, CLDE and the teaching partner. The Instructional Leadership Team analyzed data for trends in performance for the last three years of CMAS data, including areas of strength, opportunities for growth and any gaps.

The draft of the Unified Improvement Plan was shared with the parent community through the Quest Accountability Committee to see input from parents about possible revisions to the work plan goals and focus. Finally, the Unified Improvement Plan will be shared with the Aurora Quest K-8 staff to solicit feedback on the target goals and root causes.
