Carlisle County Schools: Focus on improving student achievement
Supt. Kenneth Shoulders The Carlisle County School District completes the process of accreditation from AdvancED today with an exit report from the QAR (Quality Assurance Review) team. AdvancED is the parent organization of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. District accreditation requires a school system to review its systemic efforts for improving student achievement. The QAR provides a national perspective for school improvement efforts. During the past year the Carlisle County Education Team has worked to prepare a Standards Assessment Review (SAR) which the QAR validates making commendations and opportunities for growth. The accreditation process reflects the determined spirit for growth in student achievement in Carlisle County. (The seven standards required for accreditation are available on the AdvancED website.) The AdvancED Accreditation Standards are: Vision and Purpose – The institution or educational system establishes and communicates a shared purpose and direction for improving the performance of students and the effectiveness of the school/system.
