This guide is designed to explain the 2006 High Schools That Work (HSTW) Assessment. Included in the first section are details about the purpose and composition of the HSTW Assessment, its administration and distribution of the results. The second section of this guide details the composition of the HSTW Assessment report. The type of data displayed in the report is explained and the report is described in detail. Finally, the guide describes a series of questions designed to assist schools in interpreting the 2006 HSTW Assessment report. Schools can use the companion workbook to this guide to respond to these questions.

Designed for use in conjunction with A Guide for Using the HSTW Assessment Report to More Deeply Implement School Reform, this workbook enables schools to see where they stand in their efforts to achieve continuous school improvement. The questions are largely derived from the student and teacher survey sections from the 2006 HSTW Assessment.
