Agenda Item Summary:
|
During the 2016-2017 school year ACPS will begin evaluations in the areas of Talented & Gifted (TAG) and Specialized Instruction services. The TAG evaluation will investigate progress made on key initiatives identified in the 2012-2016 Local TAG Plan with findings then leveraged by the division and stakeholders to create a new Local TAG Plan. The Specialized Instruction evaluation will delve into the quality of services offered in areas critical to accelerating student outcomes. The findings from the evaluation will be used to make any necessary adjustments to the Specialized Instruction Plan to ensure strong alignment to any identified division areas of need. Areas of potential investigation within Specialized Instruction include: instructional delivery and services, compliance, and formative implementation results of the Specialized Instruction Plan. Given the broad scope, time, and resources available the division will work with stakeholders in the coming months to prioritize areas of focus for the Specialized Instruction evaluation.

Background:
|
Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) has made a commitment to every student, parent, and community member that “Every Student Succeeds.” A critical component of ensuring that ACPS is offering the highest quality services to each student is through structured reviews of essential programs. The principal goal in these evaluations is to take a critical look at the current environment and determine what is working well, what requires revision, and what explicit actions are necessary for the division to continue to improve outcomes for every student.
