This book was released on 2017 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California's alternative education options for youth vulnerable to dropping out of school have been established at different historical points and for different student age and target populations. For purposes of this brief, "alternative school" is defined as belonging to one of six legislatively authorized types of public (non-charter) schools that meet the definitions of the Alternative School Accountability Model (ASAM). These schools are operated by different local agencies--school districts, county school boards, or juvenile justice agencies and the courts--and governed by overlapping and sometimes legislatively superseded or otherwise inoperative portions of the state Education Code. Currently, the California Department of Education (CDE) is considering the development of a new accountability system for alternative schools that aligns with Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAP) for all public schools. This report considers how other states are approaching accountability for alternative schools, focusing attention on Colorado, Kentucky, New York, North Carolina, New Jersey, Oregon, and Wisconsin. These states all use multiple indicators including school-level performance on state tests as well as indicators of enrollment, attendance, completion, and graduation in their accountability systems. These state systems have two key features in common: (1) They allow alternative schools to select the indicators that local school leaders believe are most appropriate for their education program or school; and (2) These states hold schools accountable for improvement and/or performance trends rather than to absolute performance standards. In developing an accountability system for California's alternative schools, the State Board of Education (SBE) may consider indicators or metrics adopted by other states that align with or can be nested within the design of the evolving statewide system for all public schools. This report reviews that evolving state accountability system as it may inform options for alternative schools. The report concludes with a discussion of challenges and opportunities that alternative schools face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State education departments and school districts face an important challenge in implementing a new law that requires disadvantaged students to be held to the same standards as other students. The new requirements come from provisions of the 1994 reauthorization of Title I, the largest federal effort in precollegiate education, which provides aid to "level the field" for disadvantaged students. Testing, Teaching, and Learning is written to help states and school districts comply with the new law, offering guidance for designing and implementing assessment and accountability systems. This book examines standards-based education reform and reviews the research on student assessment, focusing on the needs of disadvantaged students covered by Title I. With examples of states and districts that have track records in new systems, the committee develops a practical "decision framework" for education officials. The book explores how best to design assessment and accountability systems that support high levels of student learning and to work toward continuous improvement. Testing, Teaching, and Learning will be an important tool for all involved in educating disadvantaged studentsâ€"state and local administrators and classroom teachers.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents Arizona's innovations in academic accountability policy and academic accountability frameworks for alternative schools. A timeline of statutes and regulations including the State Board of Education approved alternative school definition provides Arizona's context for alternative school accountability policy and frameworks. Arizona is relatively unique with its development of two state-level accountability frameworks for alternative schools. In addition to presentation of the Arizona Department of Education's (ADE) Alternative A-F model and the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools (ASBCS) Academic Framework for Alternative Schools, this study offers a comparison of the two systems. Bar graphs present two years, fiscal years 2012 and 2013, of accountability results. Correlation coefficients for both years show a strong correlation between ADE's Alternative A-F and ASBCS' Academic Framework. This analysis provides empirical findings that will help further discussion of these innovations in policies and frameworks leading to more appropriate accountability for alternative education campuses. (Contains 4 tables and 14 figures .).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the movement toward standards-based education, an important question stands out: How will this reform affect the 10% of school-aged children who have disabilities and thus qualify for special education? In Educating One and All, an expert committee addresses how to reconcile common learning for all students with individualized education for "one"â€"the unique student. The book makes recommendations to states and communities that have adopted standards-based reform and that seek policies and practices to make reform consistent with the requirements of special education. The committee explores the ideas, implementation issues, and legislative initiatives behind the tradition of special education for people with disabilities. It investigates the policy and practice implications of the current reform movement toward high educational standards for all students. Educating One and All examines the curricula and expected outcomes of standards-based education and the educational experience of students with disabilitiesâ€"and identifies points of alignment between the two areas. The volume documents the diverse population of students with disabilities and their school experiences. Because approaches to assessment and accountability are key to standards-based reforms, the committee analyzes how assessment systems currently address students with disabilities, including testing accommodations. The book addresses legal and resource implications, as well as parental participation in children's education.

Book excerpt: With significant shifts in education, states are recognizing that students were not being taught at levels that adequately prepared them for college and careers and stepped up to develop and implement more rigorous standards. As part of this transition, states have also committed to better supports for educators to adapt to the new standards, better assessments to measure student learning, and better accountability systems to understand where schools are struggling and how to help them improve. Building on the positive aspects of "No Child Left Behind," the "Council of Chief State School Officers," or CCSSO, released a vision for the future of accountability systems. This vision described an accountability system that is grounded in college- and career-readiness standards, collects a broader array of data to more accurately understand school and district performance, and uses those data to better support schools and districts, with an emphasis on the lowest performing. In order to illustrate the variety of innovative approaches to accountability that states are exploring, this report provides examples of next-generation accountability concepts implemented by states. While this study provides an overview of the landscape, it is not fully representative of the variety of state approaches to accountability. CCSSO notes, looking beyond "No Child Left Behind," understandings of innovation at the state level will inform and shape the conversation around accountability systems moving forward. This paper is the first in a series of work from the "Center for American Progress" on accountability, as they partnered with "Council of Chief State School Officers" on this project in order to bring greater transparency and recognition to the innovative work being done at the state level.

Book excerpt: Money can buy simple resources such as higher teacher salaries and smaller class sizes, but these resources are actually some of the weakest predictors of educational outcomes. On the other hand, complex resources pertaining to school practices are astonishingly strong predictors of success. The author finds that tracking policies have the most profound and consistent impact on student outcomes over time. Schools often relegate low performing students, particularly minorities, to vocational, remedial, and special education tracks. So even in well funded schools, resources may never reach the students who need them most. He also finds that innovation in the classroom has a critical impact on student success. Here, too, America's schools are stratified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the intense political attention that has been focused on accountability, on standardized testing, and on the equity effects of both accountability and testing, the great majority of recent debate in education policy circles has failed to attend to either the dynamism or complexity of these issues and has, instead, been carried out in a dualistic, good versus evil, fashion. In contrast, the scholarship collected in this important new volume is designed to move beyond the prevailing dualism and to push the discourse about accountability, testing, and educational equity in public schools usefully forward, and to provide a much-needed resource for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Roadmap, developed by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) Next-Generation State Accountability Taskforce, presents a vision for next-generation accountability systems to support college and career readiness for all students. It is written by and for states, building on the leadership toward college and career readiness. This Roadmap has two core purposes: (1) To serve as a statement of state leadership in developing more robust and meaningful educational accountability systems; and (2) To provide a guide for state action in developing and implementing next-generation accountability systems. States recognize accountability as a core strategy designed to achieve educational goals, particularly student achievement outcomes. As states implement college- and career-ready standards and complementary assessment systems through the Common Core state standards and assessment consortia or otherwise, it is critical to consider the accountability implications of these policy shifts and to leverage state accountability systems to support the end goal of college and career readiness for all students. Individual sections contain resources.
