The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) gives responsibility and flexibility back to the states to make accountability systems a means for ensuring all students are achieving at high levels. Developing an accountability system is difficult, time consuming, and expensive. All states have one already, as NCLB required it. But ESSA allows states to move beyond compliance and create systems that meet the aspirations embedded in their high-quality standards. According to a recent report from the Center for American Progress, some states are more prepared than others to meet this challenge.

Join us for a webinar August 9 from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm (EDT) as we talk with Scott Sargrad and Samantha Batel of the Center for American Progress, authors of the recent analysis “Making the Grade: A 50-State Analysis of School Accountability Systems.” The report analyzes the measures that states currently include in their accountability systems and compares state systems with ESSA’s provisions. During the webinar, Sargrad and Batel will review key findings and policy recommendations and show participants how they can explore the data from their own state.
