Evaluation Processes refer to systematic and purposeful assessments that integrate with the school’s shared vision for readiness and purpose. They establish clear connections to key schoolwide moves, encompassing rituals and routines. These processes align with and bolster the school’s shared identity, reinforcing its core values, beliefs, and mental models. Acknowledging the qualities of an “Ideal Team Player” (People Smart, humble, committed to growth), they emphasize collective efforts, fostering a shift from individualism to collaborative unity.
