The 2023-2024 school year is St. Joseph the Worker School's WASC Visit Preparation Year.
During the self-study process schools concentrate on one criteria category for a determined time period and then move to the other criteria. Usually, schools work with curriculum, instruction, and assessment initially as much information is gleaned that can be used in examination of the other programmatic areas.
**The involvement and collaboration of all staff and other shareholders to support student achievement
**The clarification and measurement of what all students should know, understand, and be able to do through schoolwide student goals (schoolwide learning outcomes)
**The gathering and analyzing of data about students and student achievement
**The assessment of the entire school program and its impact on student learning in relation to expected schoolwide learning results, academic standards, and the ACS WASC criteria
**The alignment of a long-range action plan to the school’s areas of need; the development and implementation of an accountability system for monitoring the accomplishment of the plan.
The WASC Visiting Team will come to St. Joseph the Worker at the beginning of 2025.
