Sarah Osei, a school principal at Harborview High School, is working on hiring in light of the mission. Which of the following reflects sound practice?

Mission-fit questions are unfair because candidates cannot know the school yet.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Interview questions and selection criteria should probe how candidates will advance the school's mission and values with students.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Hiring should consider only technical credentials; mission fit is too subjective to assess.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The mission has no legitimate place in personnel decisions.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Which of the following is most consistent with effective practice in monitoring implementation and results?

A leader monitors both whether strategies are being implemented as designed and whether student outcomes are moving.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Checking only final test scores is enough; implementation details are teachers' private business.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

If implementation is strong, outcomes do not need checking until the state test.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Monitoring means collecting walkthrough tallies, and nothing else.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Which of the following is the soundest guidance on triangulating multiple data sources?

One strong data source, such as the state test, is sufficient for major decisions.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Triangulation means averaging three test scores into one number.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Sound decisions rest on several kinds of evidence — test results, classroom work, attendance, and stakeholder perception — rather than any single measure.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Perception data from families should be ignored because it is not objective.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

During a leadership review of protecting instructional time, which of the following should a school leader affirm?

Instructional time is fixed by the bell schedule and cannot be influenced by leaders.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Frequent pull-outs and assemblies cost little because students catch up quickly.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Leaders protect learning time by auditing interruptions, streamlining transitions and announcements, and defending the master schedule's instructional blocks.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Protecting time means forbidding all enrichment activities during the school day.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A leadership team is discussing using peer observation. Which statement should guide the team’s work?

Peer observation replaces administrative observation for evaluation purposes.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Peer observation works best when visitors report weaknesses to the principal afterward.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Peers should visit without a focus so they notice whatever stands out.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Structured peer observation spreads strong practice when visits have a focus, a debrief protocol, and a non-evaluative guarantee.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Chris Dunn, a school principal at Westfield Middle School, is working on building balanced assessment systems. Which of the following reflects sound practice?

More testing always yields better decisions, whatever the purpose of each test.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Interim benchmarks should replace all classroom assessment to reduce teacher workload.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The annual state test alone can diagnose individual students' daily learning needs.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A balanced system mixes classroom formative checks, common interim measures, and annual state results, each used for the decisions it can actually support.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A leadership team is discussing responding when interventions fail. Which statement should guide the team’s work?

A flat progress line means the student needs more time in the same intervention, indefinitely.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

When a student's intervention shows no progress, the team intensifies or changes the approach and checks implementation fidelity — it does not simply wait longer.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Fidelity checks insult the interventionist and should be skipped.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Lack of progress proves the student cannot learn the skill.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

During a leadership review of designing arrival and dismissal safety, which of the following should a school leader affirm?

Students should navigate unstructured times without adult presence to build independence.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Leaders treat arrival, dismissal, hallways, and cafeteria as designed systems — staffed, routed, and rehearsed — because unstructured times generate most climate incidents.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Supervision of common times is a duty-roster formality with little climate impact.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Most incidents occur in classrooms, so common areas need minimal design.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Regarding coaching teachers on classroom management, which of the following statements is accurate?

Leaders support struggling classroom managers with observation, modeling, rehearsal of routines, and co-planning — treating management as teachable skill, not character.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Support should begin only after formal discipline complaints accumulate.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Classroom management is a talent teachers either have or lack.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The right response to management struggles is a directive to 'be stricter'.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Which of the following is the soundest guidance on practicing culturally responsive leadership?

Neutrality means treating every culture's norms as equally reflected in current practice, by default.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Responsive practice lowers academic standards out of respect for culture.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Culturally responsive leaders examine whose norms the school treats as neutral, and they build curriculum, communication, and ritual that honor students' communities.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Culturally responsive practice is a heritage-month celebration calendar.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Regarding accepting gifts and favors, which of the following statements is accurate?

Gift rules apply to teachers but not administrators.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Small gifts from vendors are harmless professional courtesy in all cases.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Leaders follow gift rules strictly, declining anything that could be read as purchasing influence over decisions, grades, or contracts.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A gift accepted after a decision cannot create an appearance problem.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Which of the following is the soundest guidance on student records in transitions?

Sending schools may edit out discipline history to give the student a fresh start.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

When a student transfers, records move as law and policy allow so the receiving school can serve the student without dangerous or wasteful delay.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Receiving schools have no right to safety-relevant records.

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Records should be withheld until all fees and fines are settled.
