Allowable adaptations
RAG-D008
Codebook Definition
Use to distinguish adaptive leadership from drift.
Allowable adaptations are context-specific adjustments that remain defensible when documented, time-bound, equity-reviewed, monitored, and designed to preserve access, language allocation, or student learning.
Decision rules
RAG-D009
Codebook Definition
Use to translate evidence into practical leadership guidance.
Decision rules are criteria leaders use or need when choosing among competing implementation options, especially under staffing, scheduling, enrollment, budget, or governance pressure.
Drift and red flags
RAG-D010
Codebook Definition
Use to identify risks across staffing, scheduling, curriculum, language allocation, and monitoring.
Drift and red flags are warning signs that implementation is weakening, becoming inconsistent, or moving away from the intended dual-language model before explicit program failure occurs.
Monitoring indicators
RAG-D011
Codebook Definition
Use in evidence tables, assistant answers, and monitoring routines.
Monitoring indicators are observable evidence used to determine whether implementation remains on track or is beginning to drift.
Monitoring routines
RAG-D012
Codebook Definition
Use to describe how safeguards operate in practice.
Monitoring routines are recurring processes through which leaders collect, discuss, and act on implementation evidence.
Safeguards
RAG-D013
Codebook Definition
Use to identify what protects integrity and what needs strengthening.
Safeguards are supports, routines, relationships, and formal structures that help prevent drift, detect issues early, or restore implementation after disruption.
Escalation pathways
RAG-D014
Codebook Definition
Use for role clarity, authority, and system-level response questions.
Escalation pathways are formal or informal routes used when a school-level implementation issue requires support, authority, intervention, or cross-office coordination beyond the immediate leader.
Equity commitments
RAG-D015
Codebook Definition
Use to ensure integrity is not reduced to structure alone.
Equity commitments define who dual language is for and what forms of access, belonging, rigor, language development, and opportunity must be protected.
Equity indicators
RAG-D016
Codebook Definition
Use for monitoring and evaluation questions related to equity.
Equity indicators are evidence showing whether equity commitments are being realized or undermined in access, participation, services, belonging, rigor, and outcomes.
Program integrity depends on shared non-negotiables
RAG-F001
Chapter 4 Finding
Across role groups, program integrity was described as more than having a dual-language label. It required visible alignment between the stated model and daily practice.
Dual-language program integrity depends on protecting core model features: language allocation, instruction in both program languages, bilingualism and biliteracy goals, sociocultural competence, and equitable access for multilingual learners.
