Baseline Analysis - Under Construction
The Baseline Analysis
A Baseline Analysis is a tool to assess the progress of a career academy. It is based on the 10 National Standards of Practice. Often, teams self-assess or go through the Baseline Analysis review process before participating in a review to earn certification.
If an academy team chooses self-assessment, a rubric for the appropriate academy can be found under the Rubrics section. If a team chooses to go through the formal Baseline Analysis process, two certified NCAC Baseline consultants will conduct the analysis through an on-site meeting with the academy team(s), administrators, and external partners. A formal report is provided with commendations and recommendations to support the academy in meeting expectations for certification.
NCAC can provide an individual academy Baseline Analysis or for a school-wide Baseline Analysis.
Please be sure you have viewed/shared the Baseline Analysis Process presentation, and embedded links to other resources prior to completing the application for a Baseline Analysis.
