Among the roles and responsibilities of the PDE School Improvement Committee are the design and coordination of a comprehensive framework of standards-based instruction that will inform and assist districts in their improvement efforts. To fulfill this assignment, the School Improvement Committee formed a sub-committee, the Standards Based Instructional Framework Committee which has been meeting since December, 2005. MACC staff attend meetings of both committees and consult with team members to create annual technical assistance plans aligned with state priorities.
MACC will provide assistance to this Committee in Year 2 by:
- providing research on the most effective practices, policies, and exemplars of improvement efforts, collaborative planning and the practices of other states that support a Standards Based Instructional Framework which will underlie a comprehensive TA system; and
- documenting the work of this Committee as it designs the framework of standards-based instruction.
