Where did the GPS Indicators Framework come from?

http://www.nea.org/home/13193.htm

Criteria for Great Public Schools Quality programs and services that meet the full range of all

children’s needs so that they come to school every day ready and able to learn.

High expectations and standards with a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum for all students.

Quality conditions for teaching and lifelong learning. A qualified, caring, diverse, and stable workforce. Shared responsibility for appropriate school accountability by

stakeholders at all levels. Parental, family, and community involvement and engagement. Adequate, equitable, and sustainable funding.

We believe this framework will:

• close opportunity and achievement gaps

• prepare all students for the future with 21st century skills

• create enthusiasm for lifelong learning.
