53.060 - Rethinking Accountability: Early Research on California's CORE Waiver Districts
Sun, April 30, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 213 ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) makes sweeping changes to the way school performance is measured and shifts many of the decisions about what to measure and how to identify schools for support to the states. Ahead of the curve, six California CORE “waiver” districts have implemented an innovative accountability measurement system and supports for school and district improvement, and thus provide a unique opportunity to examine and learn from the enactment of an ESSA-like accountability system. This symposium brings together both quantitative and qualitative research on the CORE Districts to promote a nuanced understanding of the early implementation and effects of the CORE reform and to inform future accountability policy in the post-NCLB era.
