In today’s educational environment the challenges to improve achievement
are constantly growing. Meeting the demands of legislation such as No
Child Left Behind and the North Carolina Standard Course of Study
require faculties to apply research-based practices and effective

of the school, assess its needs, and make the decisions necessary to
improve student learning.
