Department of Education - Accountability Programs

ADE’s School Improvement program, which assists underperforming schools in Arizona, should take steps to better meet best practices in developing and reviewing school improvement plans, in providing technical assistance to underperforming schools, and in evaluating information regarding the progress of underperforming schools. ADE should also improve its monitoring of tutors in its free state tutoring program by studying ways to assure that student-tutoring goals are reasonable and that tutors’ hours are reported accurately.
