On January 17, 2019, the Champlain Valley School District will host a team of educators from neighboring school districts, along with staff from the Vermont Agency of Education, as part of our triennial Integrated Field Review (IFR). The IFR is a review of documents, interviews with students, parents and staff, and observations of schools, designed to reveal common practices in a supervisory union or school district. Various members of this visiting team will go to all CVSD schools that day. This is a collaborative and reciprocal process; staff members from our district will visit and review neighboring school districts in the weeks that follow.
This Integrated Field Review process leads to a written report, featuring school district-level commendations and recommendations in the areas of Academic Proficiency, Personalization, Safe Healthy Schools, High-Quality Staffing and Investment Priorities, the five domains of Vermont’s Education Quality Standards. The IFR process is flexible and is not evaluative; the results of a school district’s IFR can be used at their discretion, be it to support continuous improvement planning, to create networking opportunities with neighboring districts, to guide future professional development, or other.
A sampling of students and parents may also be invited to participate in interviews with the visiting team.
Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Appreciatively,
The CVSD IFR Team:
Jeff Evans
Bonnie Birdsall
Peggy-Sue Van Nostrand
Stephanie Sumner
Suzan Locke
