The Contrast Between Current Accountability Systems and a College-and Career-Ready Vision
![Page 3: Developing System Incentives: Rewarding Schools and Districts June 18, 2010 Daria Hall Alissa Peltzman](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ef15503460f94c01d32/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What Do Current High School Accountability Systems Value?
3
“Proficiency” on high school tests, which typically measure the knowledge and skills students should learn by early in high school
Graduation rates, increasingly cohort graduation rates
Other measures, such as attendance
After-the-fact judgments, rather than indicators or progress
Consequences, rather than incentives
So what’s missing?
Indicators of college and career readiness

Evolving Accountability Systems

Accountability systems need to reflect the goal of college- and career readiness for all students. Readiness must become the central driver.
Readiness should not be viewed as a fixed state. Indicators should measure whether students are on a path toward, are meeting, and are exceeding college & career readiness.
Accountability should provide actionable information to that can help improve teaching and learning. Indicators should help schools now how they are progressing and suggest where they need to focus attention.
A New Vision of Accountability

What about Federal Accountability?
10
Administration Priorities:“Commitment to raising achievement and closing gaps
Emphasis on college and career ready standards and assessments
Additional high school indicators: graduation rates, college enrollment rates, college enrollment without remediation
Incentives for high achievement, including financial rewards, participation in “communities of practice”, flexibility in use of funds, and competitive preference for funds
Dramatic intervention in the lowest-performing schools

Big Questions for Federal Accountability Policies
11
What to do “in the meantime” until college-and career-ready standards and assessments are available and implemented
How to support states and districts in the work of adopting these new tools

Florida State Board of Education approved changes in September 2009
Accountability formula now incorporates:High school cohort graduation rate, advanced-high school course-taking and success, and performance on measures of college readiness
Schools will earn weighted credits for:Number of students scoring “ready” on SAT, ACT and/or the state’s College Entry-Level Placement Test (CPT)
Number of exams students take and the number of successful student outcomes (e.g., earning college credit, passing industry certification)

Putting the Pieces Together
![Page 23: Developing System Incentives: Rewarding Schools and Districts June 18, 2010 Daria Hall Alissa Peltzman](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ef15503460f94c01d32/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Setting Statewide Performance Goals
23
Who is responsible for the goal setting process?
Who owns these goals? Who needs to support these goals?
How can you ground the goals with existing needs (e.g. statewide workforce and civic demands)?
How do you set goals that balance reality with ambition?
How do you make these goals real? How can the goals become integrated into your public reporting and accountability systems?
![Page 24: Developing System Incentives: Rewarding Schools and Districts June 18, 2010 Daria Hall Alissa Peltzman](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ef15503460f94c01d32/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Public Reporting
24
What information do parents, policymakers and the public need to know about how schools are progressing towards the goal of college and career readiness?
Who ought to report this information (state, district, school) and how often?
![Page 25: Developing System Incentives: Rewarding Schools and Districts June 18, 2010 Daria Hall Alissa Peltzman](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ef15503460f94c01d32/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Creating Incentives
25
What are the positive incentives for students and schools to work hard to reach the college-and career-ready goals?
![Page 26: Developing System Incentives: Rewarding Schools and Districts June 18, 2010 Daria Hall Alissa Peltzman](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649ef15503460f94c01d32/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Accountability Determinations
26
What matters the most if you are trying to hold schools accountable for graduating all students college-and career-ready?
How should the state measure those things we identified as most important?
How do you set expectations for performance on these important indicators?
What does the state do when the expectations are not met/met/exceeded?
