26 MARYLAND TRANSFORMS - STRATEGIC PLAN
ENABLER 1: HIGH-QUALITY DATA & REPORTING AND RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS
Provide ongoing professional learning series focused on evidence-based pedagogy and ensuring
meaningful use of assessments and other data to drive effective instructional practices (e.g. Learning
Labs, Lesson Studies, etc.).
Evolve Maryland’s school Accountability System to align with Blueprint outcomes and prioritize
student growth as a primary indicator of school quality and enhance reporting features.
Enhance and scale tools that enable effective local education agencies’ operations and teaching and
learning practices at both the district and school level (e.g. School Accountability Projection Tools).
Develop a new Statewide Finance and Data System to accurately measure and enforce accountability,
collect and report new data, and advance public transparency and understanding of how State Aid
calculations work.
ENABLER 2: HIGH-QUALITY CURRICULA & SYSTEMS FOR INTERVENTION AND
ACCELERATION
Ensure the adoption of High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) that are content-rich and culturally
responsive, as well as assessment tools aligned to the Maryland College and Career Ready Standards.
Establish and adopt a statewide Early Warning System (EWS) across the prekindergarten through 12th
grade spectrum to identify students who are at risk of:
Not being ready for kindergarten
Not being ready to read by the end of third grade
Not being proficient in math by the end of fifth grade
Not being ready for high school (e.g. attendance, behavior, and course grades in middle school)
Not being on track to graduate from high school in four years
Not being college and career ready by the end of tenth grade
