Township High School District 113 Gains Support to Implement Instructional Audits and PLCs

Township High School District 113 is implementing significant instructional and organizational priorities focused on student achievement results, including science instructional shifts and the launch of professional learning communities (PLCs).

As we move forward, we recognized the need for a partner who could help us use a more strategic, evidence-informed approach to this work. Hanover Research stood out as a thought partner to design a plan with custom research, data analysis, and implementation support into a coherent model.

Our primary goals in working with Hanover center on strengthening instructional coherence, building effective collaboration systems, and developing a sustainable framework for continuous improvement. Specifically, we plan to:

• Evaluate the implementation and impact of science instructional shifts
• Establish baseline data for longitudinal measurement of student outcomes
• Assess and strengthen the fidelity and effectiveness of PLCs
• Build a systemic evaluation framework to guide decision-making
• Engage staff in reflective, data-informed practices

Hanover will play a key role in this work by helping us ensure our improvement efforts are intentional, measurable, sustainable over time, and transparent.

It’s important to work with a partner who aligns with your district’s values and strategic plan, can customize the work to the specific needs of the district, and be willing to work as partners throughout the project timeline.
