Accountability and Authorizer Supports

Third Party Oversight Site Visits

High-quality charter oversight depends on consistent, transparent, and standards-based evaluation of school performance. SchoolWorks® partners with authorizers to conduct third-party oversight site visits that bring objectivity, expertise, and capacity to the evaluation process. Our visits are grounded in clear criteria and aligned with your oversight framework, allowing us to gather meaningful evidence across academic, organizational, and financial domains. Whether conducted annually or on an as-needed basis, these site visits generate reliable, actionable insights that inform oversight decisions, promote accountability, and support continuous improvement across your charter portfolio.

Strengthen Your Oversight

Outsourced Oversight Site Visit Facilitation

When staff capacity is limited, SchoolWorks® can fully manage your oversight site visits—delivering expert, end-to-end facilitation aligned to your authorizing standards. We work closely with your team to develop protocols that reflect your oversight priorities. Our team handles logistics, recruits and trains expert reviewers, conducts site visits, and produces clear, evidence-based reports that surface strengths, challenges, and growth opportunities.

Supplemental Review Team Members

For authorizers seeking to strengthen their internal capacity, SchoolWorks® provides skilled reviewers who are trained in your tools, timelines, and evaluation framework. Our professionals integrate seamlessly with your team to conduct classroom observations, stakeholder interviews, and document reviews—providing objective input and helping ensure that every site visit is rigorous, consistent, and aligned with your expectations.
