Does the information in The Framework get old?
topThe Framework is continually updated with visits to higher and average-performing schools. The standards and accountability environment is now about 15 years old. With federal and state policies continually evolving, schools are constantly changing, too. The Framework is built on six years of study in commonly identified higher performing schools. The general principles represented have held up during that time. As the standards movement ages, average-performing schools are beginning to adopt many of the approaches that distinguished high-performers five years ago. At the same time, higher performing schools are becoming more sophisticated in their programs and processes. Continual study of these schools enables NCEA to enrich and refine our descriptions of higher performing school systems.
