Description
Student success in the twenty-first century is predicated upon more than academic performance, yet school quality evaluations continue to be over-reliant on academic indicators. While there are examples of good practice, there are neither nuanced measures nor universal structures to identify those schools that are beating the odds with underserved populations. The Robust and Equitable Measures to Identify Quality Schools (REMIQS) project provides a model and rationale for incorporating a broader definition of student success into school quality evaluations, moving the field closer to using more authentic, contextual, and responsive data sources to identify bright spots that may be scaled, particularly for the benefit of underserved students. With renewed Corporation support, KnowledgeWorks will complete the quantitative phase of REMIQS design, using data from 5-10 states to identify ten high-performing schools, and prepare for the qualitative phase, consisting of the development of case studies of each school site.
