Sponsored by Scantron: The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) has provided a unique opportunity for states to evaluate and expand their accountability approach to include a more holistic and accurate evaluation of student, teacher, school, district, and state performance. With increased flexibility, however, comes increased complexity and measurement considerations. Does your state have all of the performance metrics and evaluation tools you need to successfully implement your ESSA plans? How are other states taking advantage of the opportunity in their ESSA plans? How can you introduce innovation while maintaining the accuracy and integrity of your data? This session will provide a unique opportunity for participants to learn about common themes, unique components, and innovative approaches in the 51 published plans, as well as different tools and options for designing, implementing, and supporting your state accountability goals and assessment programs.
