School quality reviews

Our School Quality Reviews have a unique focus on student learning.

A team of experienced and trained educators gather evidence by observing learning in classrooms, interviewing stakeholders, and assessing student performance results. The evidence gathered is used to set an agenda for change and school improvement.

A School Quality Review informs teaching and learning and assists educators as they set goals for improvement. Reviews provide critical tools to help schools build on their successes in order to improve teaching and promote student achievement. Through self-evaluation, schools build the capacity to engage in a program of continuous quality improvement.

During the review process, school personnel, community members, and reviewers work together to answer questions such as the following:

  • How do your schools set goals for improvement?
  • What are the special characteristics of each school?
  • How effective is the leadership team?
  • What factors affect student achievement?
  • How well are the students learning?
  • What is the quality of teaching?
  • How well do students progress and how can we work together to accelerate their progress?
