Background:
|
The purpose of the School Quality Review (SQR) is to reflect on school performance, to engage in dialogue to identify strengths and opportunities, and to determine what interventions, if any, are best suited for school turnaround.
The process we will use is based on work that was developed in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district and has been adapted to meet the needs of Milwaukee Public Schools. The Department of Research and Development is leading the development of the work, in consultation with district content experts, to ensure that it is aligned with the MPS Teaching and Learning Framework. Input into the process has been sought from the Regional Team and other members of the Administration. The MTEA has had an opportunity to review the process and to provide feedback as well.
The Quality Review will collect data from a number of sources. Schools will engage in a selfÂ-study, while Regional teams will engage in a similar school study. A school visit will provide an opportunity to observe classrooms and focus-group conversations with parents, teachers, students, and community partners.
Extract data on academics, behavior, and staffing will also be part of the data-collection process.
The review team will be made up of district staff, including regional superintendent, curriculum experts, and staff from Facilities, Human Resources, and Research and Development. In addition, a parent and/or community member, as well as an MTEA Representative, will be part of the team. The principal and school leadership team will have an opportunity to participate as well, engaging with members of the review team at various points throughout the process.
