Accountability Background The District (DPF) and Schools (SPF) Performance Frameworks seek to: • hold districts/schools accountable for performance on the same, single set of indicators and measures • inform a differentiated approach to state support based on performance and need, by specifically identifying the lowest performing schools and districts These goals are part of the Colorado Department of Education’s (CDE) Statewide System of Accountability and Support and the goals outlined in the Education Accountability Act of 2009 (SB 09-163) Every Student Shapes a Successful Future
DPF/SPF Structures Frameworks include three measures of student success: • Academic Achievement • Academic Longitudinal Growth • Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness Points are earned for overall student and disaggregated groups: • Previously Identified on a READ Plan • English Language Learners • Free/Reduced Lunch Eligible • Minority Students • Students with Disabilities Every Student Shapes a Successful Future
Point Distributions • District/High School • Achievement – 30% • Growth – 40% • PWR – 30% • ES/MS • Achievement – 40% • Growth – 60% Every Student Shapes a Successful Future
