What is Alternate Accountability? Alternate Accountability is a district supervised self-evaluation process. Schools reflect on their school goals and self-assess their performance in three priority areas aligned to the School Report Cards.
What is Alternate Accountability? Schools evaluate their performance in three priority areas: raising student achievement in reading raising student achievement in mathematics preparing students to be on-track for success
What is Alternate Accountability? These priority areas align to those found in the School Report Cards, but also fulfill federal accountability requirements from the US Department of Education (USDE).
Who Participates? Schools that were new in the 2021-22 school year Schools without tested grades, such as K-2 schools Schools with fewer than 20 full academic year (FAY) students tested in grades 3-8 and 11 or grades 3-11 in 2021-22 Schools with fewer than 20 FAY students tested in grades 3-11 in 2020-21
What Data are Used? Schools may use local data and indicators of their choice to gauge student progress in the priority areas.
What Data are Used? New schools that do not have data from a prior year should select an indicator that can measure student progress from Fall 2021 to Spring 2022. Schools that have multiple years of data may choose to measure progress from fall to spring or from the prior to current school year.
How are Goals Measured? English Language Arts - schools may use measures of attainment, growth, and/or closure of achievement gaps. Mathematics - schools may use measures of attainment, growth, and/or closure of achievement gaps. On-Track for Success - schools may use measures of graduation or attendance.
What Does the Process Look Like? Describe school goal Describe measure used to evaluate goal Summarize progress toward goal Example: Our goal was to reduce the number of students scoring Below Basic (move students to Basic and above) in mathematics. Example: We used the MAP test to determine the percent scoring Below Basic, Basic and Proficient in math in fall and spring Example: The percentage of students scoring Below Basic in math decreased from 31% to 18% from fall to spring.
