EE System Flexibilities
Available implementation options that can streamline EE activities to reduce workload and provide individualized professional supports.
EE in Practice
Research results on the EE System linked below indicate that robust, learning-centered systemic implementation of the EE System contributes positively to schools by improving professional performance feedback and student achievement, as well as closing achievement gaps. Findings also suggest that the Wisconsin EE System improves school culture and staff retention rates. These resources give a snapshot of beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of implementation for each of the six EE System required processes, which can powerfully contribute to positive outcomes.
