1. Curriculum Alignment: Are your newly adopted curriculum materials being implemented with fidelity across all classrooms, without staff reverting to legacy resources?

2. Pacing Standardization: Are your district pacing guides consistently followed across multiple campuses to ensure instructional pacing does not vary from building to building?

3. Board-to-Building Translation: Do you have a highly effective, standardized process that successfully translates board-level goals into actionable building-level strategies?

4. Initiative Fatigue: Does your professional development directly support specific, differentiated instructional practices without contributing to staff "initiative fatigue"?

5. Master Scheduling: Does your current master schedule explicitly prioritize instructional minutes and student interventions over historical legacy and adult convenience?

6. Data Utilization: Are your Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) successfully protecting their collaborative time to utilize predictive analytics for MTSS/RTI, rather than being hijacked by operational announcements?

7. Administrative Capacity: Are your building principals positioned and protected to act as true instructional leaders, rather than being bogged down managing daily logistical fires?

8. Resource ROI: Are the high-return educational technology platforms and core texts your district recently purchased being utilized efficiently and with high fidelity?

9. Standards Transition: Do your daily classroom practices genuinely align with updated PA STEELS and Common Core standards, leaving no gap between the written and the taught curriculum?

10. Course Correction: If a major strategic initiative is stalling in a specific building in November, do you currently have the project management and objective data required to pivot the outcome before May?
