Colorado Department of Education
School Performance Framework Purposes
• Establishes a common framework for accountability
• Provides transparent performance information to drive statewide conversation about change
• Modernizes reporting of state, district and school performance information
• Establishes new system of support and intervention, including for turnaround schools and districts
Focused Attention on Four Key Performance Indicators
• Academic Achievement
• Academic Growth
• Academic Growth Gaps
• Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness
Growth and Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness weighted more heavily in school and district frameworks
Moving from Performance Indicators to Plan Rating
• Schools receive a rating for each of the performance indicators:– Exceeds, Meets, Approaching, Does Not Meet
• The ratings roll up to an overall evaluation of the school’s performance, which determines the school’s plan type assignment
School Plan Assignments
• Performance Plan
• Improvement Plan
• Priority Improvement Plan*
• Turnaround Plan*
*Requires increased levels of state oversight
