Data-driven decision making ensures that schools are focused on the specific needs of their students, allowing for continuous improvement and personalized support.

Key 7: Continuous Evaluation and Improvement

School improvement is an ongoing process. Schools must constantly evaluate their practices, identify areas for improvement, and adapt accordingly.
