The purpose of this report is to document the pilot test of the Instruction and Learning Appraisal (ILA) and describe the quality of the ILA process. The ILA process was developed by Edvantia staff who serve as technical assistance providers to schools and districts in the region. Low-performing schools and districts (i.e., those that fail to achieve adequate yearly progress) want help with determining the problems that underlie their inadequate progress and with identifying solutions to those problems. The appraisal process uses a case study approach to provide the desired assistance. Appended is: AEL Instruction and Learning Appraisal (AEL ILA) Pilot Test Appraisers' Feedback.
