The team will develop a review process and a measurement tool that identifies practice and a process. The process will also measure the school’s performance against the VAS Strategic Plan and its core values. The team will create a report that identifies strengths and weakness that need to be celebrated or addressed which, will lead to the creation of a school improvement plans that will be managed and completed annually by the Cluster Directors.
