The Quality Education Goals in statute call for: The best educated students in America, equal to the best in the world Proficiencies in specific areas All children will meet their fullest potential High expectations for K-12 schools The commission based its work on the Quality Education goals established in statute Oregonians are receiving a payback on their investment in high standards. Our students are achieving at higher levels than in the past. But there is more to do. Many of our students are still not meeting the high standards. And a quality education is more than just achieving high test scores. Each student in our schools must have an opportunity to succeed and have access to a full educational experience.

The Challenge of the Achievement Gap Quality Education Commission The Challenge of the Achievement Gap

The Role of the Commission Quality Education Commission The Role of the Commission Help policymakers understand the relationship between funding and student achievement Identify key policy issues related to accountability, efficiency, and adequacy Enhance our understanding of Oregon’s education system as a whole: Pre-K to 20 Estimate the funding requirements of policy proposals Help determine what it will take to meet the requirements of No Child Left Behind The QEM addresses tangible resources required in a school, such as staff and instructional materials. The recommendations are based on education research and best practices. The model also identifies other factors, which we call Quality Indicators, that contribute to student learning, such as instructional leadership and parent involvement. The model assumes that schools require both adequate resources and a high level of these quality indicators to achieve high performance levels.
