This guidebook contains training materials to be used by California elementary and middle-level schools in conducting the Program Quality Review (PQR). The PQR process of curriculum self-review enables the school community to focus, through extensive discussion, on how the school's curriculum and instruction can be improved so that all students can be fully engaged in a high-quality thinking, meaning-centered curriculum. Successful PQR processes occur when there is collaboration among the principal, leadership team, consultants, school site council, and district administration. The guidebook contains samples of overhead transparencies, readings, activities, handouts, and student work. (LMI)
