Goals
Goals matter – and so does a state’s vision for improving educational outcomes. States need to communicate to parents and policymakers alike that its accountability system is targeted towards achieving its goals, and that its vision, goals, and interim targets are aligned, ambitious, and attainable.

Indicators
Indicators are only as meaningful as the information they provide. States had an opportunity to choose holistic and meaningful accountability indicators to measure student progress, which should be aligned to ensure that targets and goals are met – and likely to lead to improved educational outcomes for students.

Academic Progress
States must measure whether or not students are growing over time, and if schools are helping them to do so – without losing sight of the ultimate goal that students are reaching proficiency.

All Students
The success of a state’s education system is reflected in the performance of all of its students. States must have checks in place to ensure that all students – including individual groups of students – are receiving a high-quality education.

States are required to identify schools and student groups that need additional supports. Each state must include the appropriate mechanisms for identifying those that are most in need of targeted and comprehensive support.

Supporting Schools
Interventions in comprehensive and targeted support schools are necessary to ensure their future success. But are the state’s interventions evidence-based and rigorous enough to match the challenges that these schools face?

Exiting Improvement Status
Schools that exit improvement status must demonstrate progress – so a state’s criteria for no longer being classified as needing support should ensure sustained improvements.

Continuous Improvement
Improvement doesn’t stop with a new state plan. States must outline a clear path for it to learn from and adapt its implementation efforts. Continued consultation and engagement of key stakeholders will help ensure success.
