This document is the complete Indicators of Quality Schools assessment instrument. The instrument is a series of checklists of school practices found in schools known to have an effective instructional program organized under 12 topic areas (with subitems listed under each area): curricular congruence; assessment; leadership of the principal; high expectations; school-wide norms; values, practices and policies; school climate factors; monitoring and feedback of student progress; time on task; organization and management of the instructional setting; instructional effectiveness; parent and community involvement and accountability/accreditation/planning process. The rating scale is 1-3 and includes two scales: (a) what is and (b) impact potential. The user will find brief explanations of category areas under each of the 12 topics. (MD)
