Quality Assurance

  • Quality assurance for current and future choice options is a district focus. 

    • All SPS Choice Programs are subject to a quality assurance endorsement process.
    • The endorsement process includes an evaluation which takes programs through a self-reflection, on-site evaluation, and a post-evaluation feedback process.
    • Programs are evaluated utilizing a rubric containing specific indicators which fall under the categories of:  program design, academic success, and community connections.
