Program Review Update

KDE, in partnership with AdvancED, is developing an electronic format for completing the Program Reviews. The AdvancED Adaptive System of Schools Improvement Support Tools (ASSIST) will house the Program Reviews. It will be a place where schools can document the evidence used and guide them through “next steps” and program improvement. This tool was showcased at the Innovation Summit, which was held on December 1-2 at the Lexington Convention Center. ASSIST will be available to all schools in early or mid-February.

Districts will be expected to complete an external review of each of their schools’ reviews. The purpose of this review is to provide validation and verification of the schools’ reviews. The method the district uses to complete this external review is its choice. KDE has provided guidance documents on its Program Review webpage. Districts may choose to have representation on various school committees to monitor progress, develop a team to visit each school or monitor findings through ASSIST. Schools will submit their reviews to the district, which will in turn submit to the state on behalf of the school through ASSIST. The attached graphic demonstrates how this process should work. It is expected that the district will submit the schools’ Program Reviews by Friday, May 4, 2012, through the ASSIST tool.
