RESEARCH BASED STRATEGIES

• The standards-based school (teachers and
  administrators) engage in on-going data
  collection and analysis to determine if students
  are learning effectively.
• When data analysis indicates that learning is
  deficient in some way or learning experiences are
  not sufficiently challenging, the school takes
  action to make adjustments.
