It is intended to be a learning-focused approach to improving schools. ISBE expects to play a supportive role in this process, rather than a regulatory role.
Schools can choose the school improvement model which is best for their circumstances.
Each school will be expected to examine their progress toward goals yearly through the internal review. Currently, ISBE staff members are designing meetings for the ROE School Improvement personnel. Through these meetings, we expect to learn how we can help our schools with their school improvement planning, internal reviews, and preparation for external reviews. We look forward to working with I. S. B. E. staff members as they share with us the new Quality Review and Assurance process which will begin in January, 1997. As we learn more about the process, we will share that information with you.
