This program review is required as part of Kentucky's new assessment and accountability model. A Program Review is a systematic method of analyzing components of an instructional program, including instructional practices, aligned and enacted curriculum, student works samples, formative and summative assessments, professional development and support services, and administrative support and monitoring. (KRS 158.6453(l)(i)) Diagnostic tools to capture and report the results from these program reviews are contained in the AdvancED's Adaptive System of School Improvement Support Tools (ASSIST). ASSIST allows schools and institutions to gain better understanding of past successes and opportunities, and confidently build a solid, research-based improvement plan for the future.
