About
TECHNICAL SUPPORT TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES RANGE FROM PLANNING AND EVALUATION TO RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT TO DECISION MANAGEMENT. PLANNING AND EVALUATION SERVICES PROVIDE AUTHORIZERS WITH A COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF EXISTING PRACTICES AND GUIDANCE ON IMPROVING THOSE PRACTICES. RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT INCLUDES POLICIES, PROTOCOLS, AND KEY CHARTERING TEMPLATES SUCH AS PERFORMANCE FRAMEWORK. IT ALSO INCLUDES GUIDANCE ON EFFECTIVE PRACTICES RELATED TO APPLICATION DECISION MAKING, SCHOOL MONITORING AND OVERSIGHT, PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT, RENEWAL DECISION MAKING, AND SCHOOL CLOSURE. DECISION MANAGEMENT SERVICES ALLOW AUTHORIZERS TO RELY ON NACSA TO DEVELOP AND MANAGE RIGOROUS, MERIT-BASED PROCESSES FOR KEY AUTHORIZER DECISIONS INCLUDING DECISIONS ABOUT WHETHER TO APPROVE NEW SCHOOL APPLICATIONS. NACSA'S PURPOSE IS TO HELP AUTHORIZERS MAINTAIN HIGH STANDARDS AND PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS WHILE RESPECTING THE AUTONOMY THAT IS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE CHARTER IDEA. IN PURSUIT OF THAT GOAL, NACSA'S PRINCIPLES & STANDARDS OF QUALITY CHARTER AUTHORIZING (PRINCIPLES & STANDARDS) PROVIDE THE FOUNDATION FOR THE DELIVERY OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES. FIRST PUBLISHED IN 2004 AND MOST RECENTLY UPDATED IN 2018, THESE PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS ARE USED TO GUIDE AUTHORIZING PRACTICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND ARE REFERENCED IN STATE STATUTES. NACSA'S PRINCIPLES & STANDARDS REFLECT BEST PRACTICES IDENTIFIED THROUGH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN WORKING WITH AUTHORIZING AGENCIES OF ALL TYPES AND SIZES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE PRINCIPLES ARTICULATE CORE BELIEFS THAT UNDERGIRD QUALITY CHARTER SCHOOL AUTHORIZING, WHILE THE STANDARDS DESCRIBE ESSENTIAL AUTHORIZING RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMPORTANT ELEMENTS IN CARRYING THEM OUT. THE PRINCIPLES & STANDARDS ARE A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING AND FULFILLING THE CRITICAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF CHARTER SCHOOL AUTHORIZERS. THESE GUIDELINES ARE DISSEMINATED AND SHARED WITH AUTHORIZERS, INFORM STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATION, AND SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR EVALUATION OF AUTHORIZER PRACTICES.
