The ISD First Aid Kit gives you the tools to see what schools are – and aren’t – doing. It will help your community make student achievement the cornerstone of public education by showing how your school district performs on literacy, spending and discipline. Parents and volunteers can see where their schools are excelling, just keeping up, or failing.
An ISD First Aid Kit is a checklist paired with a custom library of data and resources specific to your child’s school district. It shows you how to ask the right questions and take smart next steps. Data is augmented with policy analysis and messaging resources to help keep your efforts on track. Each chapter has explanatory graphics and proof points to help you keep your community’s schools focused on student learning and achievement. And while the ISD First Aid Kit is tailored to your school district, it also connects you to a network of people across Minnesota who are making a difference in their kids’ schools.
An ISD First Aid Kit includes:
- a digital file linked to online resources
- a printed version for workbook portions and easy reference
- Fourteen 15-page chapters, each focused on a different issue (smartphone use, SEL, overwhelmed teachers, weak academic performance, etc.)
- Workbook action items
- Over 50 data visualizations specific to your home school district (ISD), and comparing it to Minnesota’s statewide performance
