School Review
 | Diagnostic Fact Finding Reviews The Diagnostic Fact Finding Review at under-performing schools is a cooperative process designed to provide objective, constructive feedback about the adequacy, appropriateness, and effectiveness of teaching and learning in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics at the school, and the enabling elements that make instructional improvement possible. Prior to the amendment of regulations related to assisting the State's lowest performing schools (603 CMR 2.00, Under-Performing Schools and School Districts Regulations) in October 2006, the School Panel Review Process assisted the Commissioner of Education in determining whether State intervention was needed to guide improvement efforts in schools. Reports and related documentation related to these processes are searchable by review year. |
 | Commonwealth Compass Schools Established in 2001, the purpose of the Commonwealth Compass School Program is to recognize and celebrate improvement in Massachusetts public schools; gather and disseminate information and encourage networking and sharing of good ideas, best practices, and models for success; and identify schools that may participate in research of specific programs and instructional practices. |
