Follow this link to learn about the Blue Ribbon Schools Improvement Process. Birch Meadow will be using the Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence Assessment tool as part of an ongoing process of continuous school improvement. The tool will analyze our school based upon the nine standards of the Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence Program. These standards (see below) represent over 20 years of research of what effective schools should look like. The data gathered from this assessment will help staff, administration, and school council to develop school improvement plans which will address areas of need and celebrate the current successes of the school.
The assessment process will consist of site visits to our school by the Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence staff, as well as, online assessments administered to teachers, administrators, parents and 4th and 5th grade students. Each assessment will be done online and will be completely confidential.
