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.
