Middle States Accreditation: Excellence by Design
1. By the time students have experienced our full educational program and services, what should our students know and how should they be able to use what they know? What content, skills, and work habits should be the priorities for learning? What attitudes, qualities or characteristics should our students demonstrate?
2. How well should our students perform the desired outcomes, and what does excellent performance look like?
3. How will we measure and evaluate our students’ performance in multiple ways?
4. How well do our students currently perform? What is the actual quality of their work?
5. What must we do to grow and improve our students’ performance?

Middle States Accreditation
Serves as a mechanism for improving a school system’s ability to produce levels of student performance - *School Districts can demonstrate this in different ways

Components of the Excellence by Design Model

• Standards are used to make decisions in the Middle States Process
• Standards do not determine what school systems look like
• Indicators analyze a standard and demonstrate that a particular standard has been met

• Example of a “Standard”: – Financial resources are sufficient to provide the educational
opportunities defined in the school system’s philosophy/mission.
• Indicator 4.14: Our school’s leadership exercises prudent control over all financial operations.
• Indicator 4.15: Our school’s staff is involved in determining financial priorities for curriculum and instructional needs.
