Accountability for a Quality Education System for Today and Tomorrow
AQuESTT is a framework that describes the accountability system for the performance of public schools and districts. The framework is built on six tenets and addresses two broad categories of quality education systems: 0 Student Success and Access to include the following tenets: Positive Partnerships, Relationships and Student Success; Transitions; Educational Opportunities and Access: and 2) Teaching and Learning to include the following tenets: College and Career Ready; Assessment, and Educator Effectiveness, AQuESTT seeks to integrate educational accountability, assessment, public school and district accreditation, career education and the effective use of data for continuous improvement.
The AQuESTT framework is used to support the improvement efforts of public schools and districts, including those districts containing schools designated as priority schools, schools in most need of assistance to improve student achievement. AQuESTT is also used to recognize best practices of excellence by public schools and districts that may be shared among schools.
