AdvancED’s deep experiential base combined with 21st century perspective on effective schools, led to the identification of seven research-based school quality factors that are the keys to driving improvement.These seven factors are foundational to the School Quality Factors Diagnostic, a tool that can be used by institutions for self-evaluation along their improvement journey.

This form will address the School Quality Factor Below:

D. IMPACT OF INSTRUCTION -- The capacity of every teacher to purposefully and intentionally create an environment that empowers all learners to be successful and reach expected levels of achievement, including readiness to transition to the next level of learning or career pathway.

For each School Quality Factor there are practices and/or conditions that reflect the elements that must be evident to support institutional effectiveness. The institution can include additional comments/insights/summary with supporting documentation for each factor.
