This inaugural report from the National Consensus Panel on Charter School Academic Quality, a group of two dozen education reform professionals and foundation executives playing leading roles in the public charter school movement nationally, recommends key indicators of academic quality in public charter schools. The report is designed to be a practical resource guiding improvement in public charter schools across the country -- and applicable to all schools regardless of their specific mission or student body. It is the first publication in a series of initiatives of the three-year Building Charter School Quality project funded by the U.S. Department of Education. For each of the four indicators (student achievement level, student progress over time, post-secondary readiness and success, and student engagement), the broad framework includes specific measures, metrics, targets and benchmark comparisons.
