Charter renewal decisions demand a process that is thorough, transparent, and defensible—one that reflects both the performance of the school and the integrity of the authorizer’s accountability system. SchoolWorks® offers a range of renewal site visit support services tailored to meet the specific needs and capacity of each authorizer. Whether providing full-site visit management or targeted support in observation, evidence collection, and reporting, our team ensures that every step of the process is grounded in clear criteria and aligned to your academic performance framework. This approach empowers authorizers to make well-informed, evidence-based decisions that stand up to public and legal scrutiny while promoting continuous improvement across their portfolio.
For authorizing offices with limited staff capacity, outsourcing renewal site visits can significantly reduce workload while ensuring high-quality, consistent evaluations. SchoolWorks manages the entire renewal site visit process on your behalf, partnering with your team to develop protocols tailored to your renewal criteria. We recruit, train, and oversee qualified reviewers, handle all scheduling and logistics, and conduct thorough site visits. Following visits, we deliver clear, comprehensive reports that highlight key findings to support informed, data-driven renewal decisions.
Some authorizing offices require targeted support to boost the capacity of their existing teams. To address this need, SchoolWorks provides experienced reviewers who are thoroughly trained in your site visit protocols, tools, and standards. Our professionals integrate seamlessly with your staff—participating in training, conducting on-site evaluations, and collecting evidence. We also offer specialized roles, including Lead Reviewers to manage logistics and communications, and dedicated Report Writers who deliver comprehensive, high-quality evaluation reports.
