Attainment and Growth.Overall and Achievement Gap.Diverse Measures of Achievement.

Holding Schools Accountable for College and Career Standards.

Aligned with Hawaii’s Race to the Top plan and the DOE’s Strategic Plan.

14

ESEA flexibility is not a pass on accountability. Schools will continue to be required to raise the bar for

performance for all students and be held accountable for the academic growth and gain of all students.

Request for flexibility from specific requirements of NCLB in exchange for rigorous and comprehensive State developed plans designed to improve student learning, close achievement gaps, and increase the quality of instruction.

The framework of next generation accountability builds on and moves beyond current NCLB Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) requirements.

15

The initial waiver period will be through the 2013-14 school year.

State Education Agency (SEA) may request an extension prior to the 2014-15 school year unless this flexibility is superseded by reauthorization of ESEA.

Review process will include external peer reviewers and staff reviewers.

16

Adopt college- and career-ready standards.

Transition to college- and career-ready standards.

Develop and administer annual, statewide, aligned, high-quality assessments that measure student growth.

17

Develop and implement a State-based system of differentiated recognition, accountability and support.

Set ambitious but achievable AMOs. Reward, Priority, and Focus Schools. Provide incentives and supports for

other Title I schools. Build SEA, LEA, and school capacity

to improve student learning.18

Develop and adopt guidelines for teacher and principal evaluation and support systems.

Ensure LEAs implement evaluation support systems.

19

SEA should remove duplicative and burdensome reporting requirements that have little or no impact on student outcomes.

SEA must assure that it will evaluate and revise its own administrative requirements to reduce duplication and unnecessary burden on schools.

20

Develop and adopt guidelines for teacher and principal evaluation and support systems.

Ensure LEAs implement evaluation support systems.

Each SEA must engage diverse stakeholders and communities in the development of its request.

Consult with Committee of Practitioners. Provide notice and information regarding the

request to the public. Provide schools with notice and opportunity

to comment on the request.
