All final projects must be completed to receive a grade for the course.  Failure to complete the final project will result in a final grade of F, no matter what grade you had prior to those final projects being due.

The final project is a culmination of the content knowledge and personal experience of course assignments. You are to use many pieces of data, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation to comprehensively examine a hypothetical set of data (unless the instructor approves usage of current data at your own school). Use “Riverside High School” case study data (Appendix A) to complete all of the artifacts below as part of a portfolio project. Use the downloadable template provided for each artifact found in the Appendices and/or via Canvas. You will submit items in three parts. Section 1 will be submitted in Week 3. Sections 2 and 3 will be submitted in Week 5. Sections 4 and 5 will be submitted in Week 7.

Data collection and analysis (template found in Appendix B)

• Fill out Continuums for 7 themes of CSI
  • Information and Analysis
  • Student Achievement
  • Quality Planning
  • Leadership
  • Professional Learning
  • Partnership Development
  • Continuous Improvement and Evaluation

Step-by-Step Guide to Completing Section 1 Successfully

1. Review the Riverside High School Case Study (Appendix A)

   • Highlight key data points related to achievement, leadership, planning, and stakeholder involvement.

   • Organize data into categories that align with the seven CSI themes.

2. Download and Review Appendix B Template

   • Familiarize yourself with the continuum scale and performance descriptors.

   • Note what constitutes low, moderate, and high levels of implementation.

3. Analyze Each CSI Theme Individually
   For each theme:

   • Review relevant data from the case study.

   • Determine where Riverside High School falls on the continuum.

   • Justify your rating using specific evidence (not assumptions).

4. Use Evidence-Based Reasoning

   • Cite assessment data, planning documents, leadership practices, professional development records, or stakeholder engagement examples from the case study.

5. Ensure Alignment Across Themes

   • Check for consistency between ratings (e.g., strong leadership should align with effective planning and professional learning).

6. Write Clearly and Professionally

   • Use concise, objective language.

   • Maintain a data-driven, analytical tone throughout.

7. Prepare for Future Sections

   • Your continuum ratings will inform later sections of the portfolio, including problem identification, recommendations, and improvement planning.
