ACCOUNTABILITY REDESIGN

The public needs to know how schools are doing and schools should be accountable for improving student performance. The Department of Public Instruction is developing a new accountability model to serve these two needs. A revised growth model is being developed to accurately predict what is challenging and attainable for every student and to hold schools accountable for achieving those results. Key components will include graduation rates, rigor of courses taken and measures of readiness for college and the workplace. The new accountability model will push schools to perform at higher levels every year and will provide comparable data over time.
