The review process used by EQA is composed of several distinct components:
Report Writing
After the EQA team leaves the district each examiner writes a report on the particular standard area he/she was the lead on. This report details how the district performed relative to each of the indicators contained within the particular standard. Approximately one week later the team reconvenes for a corporate session where each examiner presents his/her report to the group. These draft reports are subjected to intense critique and scrutiny by the team. Edits are made based on the consensus opinion of the group.
The report is then forwarded to the EQA’s technical writing team which subjects the report to further editing. A contextual background piece and data section are added, a executive summary is prepared, and the report is then forwarded to the executive director for final review. The report is then sent to the superintendent of schools for a review of factual accuracy. Final edits are made and the report is sent to the EMAC for its review. In some cases further edits may be made.
