Critical Success Factors (CSFs) Every school has factors that are critical to its success. Identifying a focused number of key areas of improvement can help campuses thrive. Once identified, critical success factors help stakeholders focus on priorities, develop measurable goals, and create a culture of teamwork.
The seven identified critical success factors are foundational elements and serve as key components in school planning.The CSFs are grounded in evidence-based research as connected to the Texas Accountability and Intervention System (TAIS). We provide differentiated trainings that fully support systemic efforts at all levels, including district commitments, and campus trainings with full integration of the critical success factors. All workshops can be further customized as on-site trainings in your district/charter.

Texas Evaluation System Lead Contact Meeting Dates to Come
Join evaluation lead contacts from area districts and charters as we network together to ensure successful implementation of the Texas Evaluation Systems. This is not a training; it is a series of 3 meetings that will allow evaluation lead contacts to share information regarding local policy, practices and procedures.
Additionally, best practices will be shared that assist districts and charters in implementing the Texas evaluation systems (both T-TESS and T-PESS) to campus administrators and teachers.
New Administrator Induction Join an interactive cohort of area leaders and satisfy the Texas Administrative Code required induction period component.

Region 4 is pleased to continue our partnership with VitalSmarts®, a leader in change, innovation, and organizational performance. When it comes to change, one thing is certain: Humans will resist. Resistance is a common and destructive part of any change equation. But despite resistance, some individuals and organizations enjoy incredible success. Join us to explore the ideas that lead to action in the following 2-day trainings (click on each link for an overview of each course).
