ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT August 25, 2014 BOARD MEETING Advanced ED Standards for Quality Bill Dorulla, CAA Athletic Director

The new AdvancED Standards for Quality mark an evolution in continuous improvement and accreditation. While leveraging accreditation as a powerful tool for driving effective practices in support of student learning, these research-based Standards also emphasize teaching and learning; share embedded common themes across Standards; and address students' ability to successfully develop learning, thinking, and life skills as critical elements of student achievement. The five standards are: Purpose and Direction, Governance and Leadership, Teaching and Assessing for Learning, Resources and Support Systems and Using Results for Continuous Improvement.

Resource and Support Systems Standard Focus #4: Resource and Support Systems

Leader Assessment – Level 4 Indicator 4.3 The system maintains facilities, services, and equipment to provide a safe, clean, and healthy environment for all students and staff. Leader Assessment – Level 4 • System and school leaders have adopted or collaboratively created clear definitions and expectations for maintaining safety, cleanliness, and healthy environment and have shared these definitions and expectations with all stakeholders. All system and school personnel as well as students are accountable for maintaining these expectations. Valid measures are in place that allow for continuous tracking of these conditions. Improvement plans are developed and implemented by appropriate personnel to continuously improve these conditions. The results of improvement efforts are systematically evaluated regularly.
