Comprehensive Success Review
Overview
The Delaware Comprehensive Success Review provides districts and schools with research-based feedback focused on improving outcomes for all students through an on-site visit process and rubric. The Delaware Comprehensive Success Review improves outcomes for students through analysis and plan development based on a comprehensive review of school programming, student performance and processes.
The eight research-based rubric elements for school level on-site reviews are as follows:
- Leadership
- Budget and Resources
- Teacher and Student Class Assignment
- Curriculum and Instruction
- Assessment and Accountability
- Professional Development
- School Environment
- Parents and Community
The goal of the Delaware Comprehensive Success Review process is to identify areas of strengths and challenges in the research-based elements and provide technical assistance to schools in developing strategies to address the areas of need. The schools and districts will be able to include these needs, strategies and associated measures in their Success Plans for continuous school improvement.
