Did you know your district has a Comprehensive School Improvement Specialist (CSIS)? When Great Prairie AEA reorganized into three regions, with two regional directors each, a comprehensive school improvement specialist (CSIS) was also added. The CSIS will assist Great Prairie AEA and local schools in using data for decision-making, in order to improve student achievement.
Contact your Comprehensive School Improvement Specialists (CSIS) for:
- RTI (assessment literacy)
- Data Teams: AEA and LEA
- Problem-Solving (Systemic to Individual level)
- Assessment Literacy: measures and analysis
- School Improvement: data map, pd plan, attend leadership meetings (with regional)
In addition to supporting data teams, each CSIS has additional areas of expertise. Please see below for contact information and areas of focus:
