InterventionsSchool improvement grants will be replaced by a capacity building approach at the local level. School improvement, restructuring, etc will be replaced by two categories:

Comprehensive or Targeted Support and Improvement

Beginning in 2017-2018 and once every 3 years

Criteria:

Bottom 5% of schools

High schools graduating less than ⅔ of their students

Schools in which a subgroup is consistently underperforming in the same manner as the lowest 5% of schools

States set exit criteria

“Evidence Based Strategies”Defined in the law:

as being strong evidence with at least one well-designed experimental study, moderate evidence from one well-designed quasi experimental study, or promising evidence from at least one well-designed correlational study, you can also include ongoing evaluation and proven strategies

What About Current Focus/Priority Schools?States have 2 options, and must notify the Feds by Jan 29:

Option A: Do not exit schools and maintain current identification. A State may “freeze” its current lists of priority and focus schools as of December 10, 2015. These schools would continue to implement their approved interventions through the 2015–2016 and 2016–2017 school years. The State would not be able to exit schools from the current lists until after the 2016–2017 school year.

Page 18: Accountability Updates Sound Check: Can you hear me now?

Former Focus/Priority Schools cont’dOption B: Exit schools and identify new priority and focus schools. A State may exit priority and focus schools that meet the State’s approved exit criteria and identify new priority (at least 5 percent of Title I schools) and focus (at least 10 percent of Title I schools) schools based on more recent data. Newly identified schools, as well as those that remain on these lists because they did not meet the State’s exit criteria, would implement their approved interventions through the 2016–2017 school year. A State selecting this option must provide updated lists of priority and focus schools to ED by Monday, March 1, 2016.

What the Feds Cannot DoPrescribe goals for student achievement, either short-term or long-term

Tell states how turn around low-performing schools or intervene in them

Coerce or provide incentives to use a particular set of standards

Specify any parameter of teacher/school leaders

Use money to design or force the use of a national test

Tell states how they must factor in participation

it must be included and be at least 95%, but how is up to the state
