Description
Getting the Schools You Want is a step-by-step guide to school improvement through the use of a curriculum management audit. Use the practitioner-oriented framework, reproducible forms, and survey instruments to save time, prevent headaches, and get results.
Curriculum management audits are powerful tools for improving schools and supporting systematic change. At the district level, the curriculum management audit process can provide you with the findings, insight, and recommendations to make meaningful change. Individual schools can also use the internal audit to measure schoolwide efforts and effectiveness.
The curriculum audit is organized around five standards: control, objectives, connectivity and equity, assessment, and productivity. These standards are the same regardless of the size, location, community, or history of the district. The audit provides a guide to planning, a vehicle to communicate with staff and the community, and a proven process for improving student achievement.
