Supporting Continuous Quality Improvement

An important feature of VQB5 is that measurement, feedback, and supports are ongoing and frequent. VQB5 programs have many opportunities to reflect on their progress during the year using a continuous quality improvement cycle.

Using the results from VQB5 CLASS observations along with information about the use of VDOE-approved curricula, can help site leaders and teachers access professional development supports that meet the unique needs of each program.
