3) How does the District ensure that the AdvancED standards are met by all<br />
the schools and the District as a whole?<br />
The district reviews AdvancEd recommendations from 2006 on a quarterly basis at the<br />
Superintendent’s ELT meetings. AdvancEd standards are also posted on the<br />
accreditation website and changes or revisions to the standards are communicated to<br />
schools through the principal level meetings that are held once a month. All schools<br />
complete a self-assessment in which they rate each indicator for each of the 7 standards.<br />
The self-assessment ensures that principals, assistant principals, teachers and the<br />
entire staff are aware and understand each accreditation standard.<br />
The District’s strategic plan, to be written after the accreditation visit, will address<br />
recommendations from the current visit. The new AdvancED standards will be<br />
included in our School Improvement Plans. Broward County Public Schools continues<br />
to build accreditation capacity throughout the District with the end-goal that all staff<br />
and stakeholders understand and strive to meet accreditation standards.<br />
4) How does the District regularly collect, use, and communicate results?<br />
A regular assessment schedule and a streamlined process allows all stakeholders to<br />
collaborate in the administration and collection of assessment data. Locally<br />
administered assessments, such as Benchmark Assessment Tests, are scored and<br />
reported to the data warehouse quickly, so that students, parents, teachers, and<br />
administrators can utilize student performance feedback to guide student learning.<br />
Aggregate achievement data are analyzed and reported by the Student Assessment &<br />
Research Department and presented in reports available on the District website or in<br />
summary tables provided to schools via the data warehouse School Reports menu.<br />
