Why the West Virginia Standards for High Quality Schools?

These standards describe the seven common standards expected of schools to ensure a high quality education, in an engaging learning environment.

The policy represents a coherent and aligned set of expectations necessary to transform schools into outcome focused, innovative, accountable learning organizations that can prepare all students to be contributing citizens for the global, digital age of the 21st century.

Diagnostic Observation…HQS2Example 1

• Teachers feel they can voice their concerns to the administration.• The established school leadership meets monthly.• Collaborative teams meet twice a month. • There was no evidence of student input into the decision making process of the

school.• There is a student council. They meet occasionally with Mr. Teacher to talk

about service-type activities, but are not involved in any true student-school leadership.

• Eighth-grade students seemed to be very aware of the council while the 6th and 7th grade students knew very little of the council’s existence.

• Teachers report that the administration uses ineffective methods and processes to communicate with stakeholders. Communication to the staff is not timely and there is a lack of communication with parents and community.
