This week: Accountability
Systems that Measure What Matters
While there is an
increasing sense of national urgency about chronically low-performing
schools, far too many schools continue to fall short, and far too many
students continue to pay the devastating price.
Every state must
drive schools and districts to achieve college and career readiness for
all students, and hold individual schools and districts accountable if
they fail to do so. This means building
robust accountability systems, and finding ways to identify and
intervene in chronically low-performing schools.
