This model is based almost exclusively on the use of information for decision making related to student educational attainment. Matters of compliance and regulations are not a part of this model, but this model is considered to be complimentary to the many efforts in this area of Special Education monitoring and compliance.
Test scores are only one kind of data about attainment.
Student attainment in academic areas as well as on personal, social, physical, and emotional attributes are all critical for special education populations. Closely tied to this concept is that educational decision making is a student focused people process not a mechanistic formula. Educators, together with parents and community, will use best practices to develop life-long learners. Educators should provide students and parents with unique, creative, and research-based learning strategies. The entire community is involved in the learning process.
