• Data Usage: Use collected data to deliver actionable feedback to stakeholders during meetings. Teach and empower stakeholders to value and use this data effectively and independently.
• School Oversight: For the first few months, visit each school every week, and after stabilizing at least every 2 weeks, increasing visits if performance lags. Provide daily remote follow-ups when necessary to address challenges or to celebrate successes.
