DISTRICT ACCREDITATION QUALITY ASSURANCE REVIEW Presented by: Kati Dyer, Coordinator of Professional Learning & School Improvement March 2019

What is Accreditation? Accreditation is a voluntary method of quality assurance developed more than 100 years ago by American universities and secondary schools. The goal of accreditation is to evaluate, verify, and improve an institution’s quality. External audit of a district’s school improvement processes

To be accredited, schools must: Meet the AdvancED standards for quality schools Engage in continuous improvement Demonstrate quality assurance through internal and external review

Where are we in the process? We successfully completed our external review during SY 2014-2015. Currently within internal review cycle and completed our Accreditation Progress Report (a follow-up to the 2014- 2015 external review). We are planning for our third external review during SY 2020-2021 (was 2019-2020 but AdvancED extended). Climate surveys will be used in the review. Expected participation 20% parents 40% students 60% staff

Internal/External Review (2020-2021) External Review: typically once every five years The Quality Assurance Review Team: Is comprised of members with diverse experience and rich contextual perspective Assesses and evaluates district effectiveness in meeting the requirements of accreditation Recently, AdvancED adopted new standards and new process The QAR process provides the district and community with: Important validation and recognition Valuable insight and direction for improvement

RESULTS OF MOST RECENT EXTERNAL REVIEW SY 2014-2015 The External Review Team visited 12 schools Powerful Practices: Learning environments throughout the district are above average of all AdvancED schools The collection, analysis, and use of data effectively drive instruction across the district (Indicators 3.2, 5.2, 5.3) The district has developed a systemic collaborative culture that supports improved instruction and student learning at all levels (Indicator 3.5) Improvement Priorities: Develop and implement a comprehensive process to ensure an appropriate and effective working relationship among the members of the School Board and administrators (Indicators 2.2, 2.3) Formalize a comprehensive process engaging all stakeholders to review, revise, and communicate the district’s purpose and direction (Indicators 1.1, 1.2)

Performance Target Increases in Priority Areas Year District Grade Graduation Rate SAT Mean Score 2014 C 70.6 500 2015 B 71.6 496 2016 B (595) 76.0 509 2017 B (623) 76.6 535 2018 B (624) 78.7 536 2014 and 2015 are just reading mean scores...writing was added in 2016 Evidence Based Reading and Writing..EBRW...when writing was added our scores went up, the entire state went up; 2017: State was 520 and Nation was 533 Improvements in all areas, most notably to Graduation Rate

Internal Review Annual internal reviews are conducted through the School Improvement process. Student data, stakeholder surveys, and other information is analyzed through the 8 step problem solving process. A School Improvement Plan is designed with action steps implemented and monitored throughout the year. (SLT, SIP Prog. Monitoring Meetings, Midyear Reflections) Tiered system of support is provided to each school. District Instructional Reviews are conducted as determined by need throughout a five-year rotation cycle. Instructional Review summaries are completed and a plan of action is designed for continued support; follow up reviews conducted by school’s district liaison Under consideration: internal teams review schools in preparation for 20-21 visit. Continue using Strategic Plan to make measured progress
