  1. Using Local Flexibility in School Accreditation and SB-163 Updates Sponsored by The Colorado Department of Education July 21, 2010

  2. Agenda • Accreditation: • CDE’s role • District’s role • Local flexibility • Revisions to the School Performance Framework • District Performance Framework • Timelines

  3. Accreditation & Planning • CDE accredits districts: • Accredited with Distinction • Accredited • Accredited with Improvement Plan • Accredited with Priority Improvement Plan • Accredited with Turnaround Plan • CDE assigns school plan types: • Performance Plan • Improvement Plan • Priority Improvement Plan • Turnaround Plan • Unified Planning Template

  4. Accreditation: Big Ideas • Districts are responsible for accrediting schools. • The state provides a framework for evaluating school performance (the school performance frameworks). • Districts can add to the state framework. • State involvement is only with the lowest performing schools – Priority Improvement and Turnaround. • Explicit links between school accreditation and improvement planning.

  5. CDE Role • Major components of the CDE role: • Accredit districts • Assign school plan types • Evaluate district and school performance using common indicators • Review and approve Priority Improvement and Turnaround plans • Provide high quality information • Provide as much support to districts as possible within fiscal constraints

  6. District Role • Major components of the district role: • Accredit schools • Evaluate school performance using a more exhaustive or stringent framework than CDE • Write and implement district improvement plans; review school plans • Provide as much support to schools as possible within fiscal constraints

  7. Local Flexibility • Discuss: • How do you plan to accredit your schools? • How can CDE support you?

  10. District Performance Framework • Mirrors the School Performance Framework • Distribution of district accreditation categories similar to school plan type distribution • 10% Accredited with Distinction • 50% Accredited • 25% Accredited with Improvement Plan • 10% Accredited with Priority Improvement Plan • 5% Accredited with Turnaround Plan • Safety and Finance assurances • Districts not meeting either their Safety or Finance assurances will default to Accredited with Priority Improvement (or stay in Priority Improvement or Turnaround if they are already there) until they meet requirements.
