The Operational Best Practices for Accountability

Apr 04, 2022

The Operational Best Practices for Accountability are intended to provide states with guidance and criteria for the design, development, implementation, evaluation, and potential revision of accountability systems under the Every Student Succeeds Act.

These criteria describe practices that are applicable across contexts while providing concrete benefits to users. These practices also establish a common set of operational criteria that include guidance from other areas of measurement in education and can be approached by states either in part or in whole.
