Over the past five years, SERVE's work in assessment and accountability at the district level has focused on exploring with district partners what it really means for a school district to hold itself accountable for not just the ends (student achievement) but also for the means to the ends (the quality of instruction happening in classrooms).

The thinking and tools that have emerged out of SERVE's partnership with a consortium of districts, called SERVE Leads, is organized into four components.

 

  • Defining a Vision
  • Selecting a Focus
  • Professional Development
  • Monitoring Instruction
  • District Consortium
