The DCI Framework consists of nine DCI practices. The DCI practices are organized into three key components.

Foundations– three foundational educational practices essential for collaborative Teams ( CT), Data- based Decision Making (DBDM), and Common Formative Assessment (CFA).

Effective Teaching and Learning Practices (ETLP) – two selected evidence- based practices shown to be highly effective in improving student achievement: Developing Assessment Capable Learners ( DACL) with Feedback and Metacognition.

Supportive Context – four practices that create a supportive context, sustaining and advancing effective teaching and learning: School based Implementation Coaching ( SBIC), Collective Teacher Efficacy (CTE), Systems Leadership, and Instructional Leadership.
