The review process used by EQA is composed of several distinct components:
Evaluation of the EQA Process
As an agency, EQA is looking for districts to be data driven to allow them to better respond to the needs of their students. EQA understands that district personnel are already working hard, but are they utilizing their financial and staff resources as effectively and efficiently as possible? This agency asks the same questions of itself.
Over time the EQA has revisited every aspect of the examination process, from the standards, the format of the report, the on-site examination schedule, interview protocols, team configurations, etc. This has been done by conducting symposia, focus group interviews of examiners, feedback from school districts, and analysis of district data over time. The EQA's goal has been to better serve districts and provide them with the most meaningful and accurate information possible to inform their improvement efforts and promote higher levels of student achievement.
