  3. Why KEYS? Low Performing Schools and Student Achievement Quality Professional Development Building Capacity/Membership Increasing Association Visibility Being the EXPERT The Mississippi Association of Educators and Maryland State Teachers Association care about:

  4. Objective Provide an overview of the NEA KEYS 2.0 Initiative, its theoretical roots, its development and where it fits as a component of capacity building and school accountability

  5. What is the NEA KEYS 2.0 Initiative? Deliberative process for continuous school improvement Research-based and data/information-driven Supports the school’s and district’s efforts to build internal capacity to improve and be accountable Begins with the use of a school assessment tool, an online survey, completed by the school community that yields scores on 42 indicators of school quality that correlate with high student achievement

  6. The NEA Six “Keys” of School Quality The 42 indicators are clustered into six essential “Keys” that define the standards for school quality: 1. Shared understanding and commitment to high goals (5 Indicators) 2. Open communication and collaborative problem solving (9 Indicators) 3. Continuous assessment for teaching and learning (5 Indicators)

  7. The NEA Six “Keys” of School Quality 4. Personal and professional learning (11 Indicators) 5. Resources to support teaching & learning (5 Indicators) 6. Curriculum and instruction (7 Indicators)

  8. Three Alternative Uses 1. Survey only 2. Survey as part of an existing school or district improvement model 3. KEYS embedded in a continuous school improvement (CSI) as depicted and supported in the new KEYS 2.0 website

  9. Why is KEYS Highly Credible with NEA Members … Ownership of the process and the data KEYS surveys are completed anonymously and results are strictly confidential Schools decide what to do with the data The survey is available in English or Spanish

  10. Why continued… The whole school community can participate, including parents and community members, using new KEYS parent and community surveys Separate analyses are provided for each constituent group allowing for comparisons of perceptions among the groups

  11. Why this… School average and standard deviation scores are provided for each of the 42 quality school indicators Normative and longitudinal comparisons can be made

  12. And Why Else… Opportunities to discuss difficult issues that would otherwise be muted Opportunities to collect and use data forestablishing priorities and making more rational school improvement decisions Opportunities for promoting learning communities and encouraging essential conversations

  13. KEYS + KEYS is more than a school and district assessment system KEYS as a set of standards for measuring school conditions for teaching and learning KEYS as a set of tools for helping schools assess their strengths and weaknesses and build capacity for school improvement KEYS as a measure of internal school accountability
