With a QPR group of educators visit another school for two days. The Quality Peer Review offers educators at one school the opportunity to learn about ways of educating that they can take back to their own school.
For Roosevelt, it's a chance to get feedback and perspective, while working towards achieving accreditation through the National Career Academy Coalition. Principal Morgan Gallagher was recently interviewed by the Rockford Register Star about the upcoming QPR. "Morgan Gallagher, principal at Roosevelt Community Education Center, is looking forward to his school’s first Quality Peer Review in March. Roosevelt is pursuing accreditation through the National Career Academy Coalition, and the review will be a litmus test about areas that still might need attention. ‘Besides that,’ he said, ‘it will be an opportunity to validate the great work already accomplished by our amazing teachers and staff.’" To read more about Roosevelt's Quality Peer Review, see the full article at the Rockford Register Star here.
