ASSIST and School Improvement
2
Continuous school improvement is the best way to
ensure that all important pieces of data, not just
test scores, are considered all the time in making
improvements in a learning environment.
Plans should be collaborative, transparent, well
written and communicated. ASSIST helps us do
that. Continuous improvement is never done and
over.
Continuous School Improvement

AdvancED and The Kentucky Department of
Education (KDE)will work collaboratively to provide a
common improvement planning process and system for all schools and
districts in Kentucky resulting in a streamlined monitoring and
compliance process.
