Learning Criteria to Support Rigor, Relevance and Relationships. Throughout out the United States, many schools are working diligently at the enterprise of school improvement.  At the heart of these improvement efforts lies a strong commitment to meet the needs of learners, to satisfy the mandates embedded in No Child Left Behind (NCLB), and to raise scores on state standardized tests in all academic areas.   

There’s more to school success than test scores. Use the Learning Criteria to set performance targets and establish relationships for a rigorous and relevant education for all students. The Learning Criteria is one tool that supports school improvement processes through a stepwise data collection and analysis process.

Lexile / Quantile Study. The Lexile Framework for Reading, developed by MetaMetrics, Inc., is a scientific approach to reading measurement that matches readers to text and allows for individualized monitoring of progress. The Quantile Framework for Mathematics, also developed by MetaMetrics, Inc., provides a common scale for measuring mathematics achievement and concept/application solvability. The International Center will analyze a variety of reading and math-based materials submitted by the schools to determine the levels of literacy and math levels needed for comprehension and compare them to the language arts, science, and mathematics tested on State Assessments.

Successful Practices Network Membership. The Successful Practices Network, sponsored by the International Center for Leadership in Education, is a not-for-profit membership organization designed for good schools that want to become even better. The Network provides a mechanism to share data, experiences, technical assistance, research, and best practices with one another.
