VASCD's Position Brief: Considerations for
an Accountability System in Virginia
Over the past several months, there has been discussion amongst our policymakers and legislative leaders regarding the accreditation and accountability system in Virginia. The Virginia Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (VASCD) is well-positioned to provide thoughtful considerations and expert facilitation to engage stakeholders in the dialogue and creation of Virginia's accountability system.
The purpose of THIS BRIEF is to identify and compare the accountability systems of four states, analyze the components with each, and generate considerations for moving forward to create an accountability system of the future for Virginia. Included in the brief:
- Comparison of the accountability systems in Virginia, Florida, Massachusetts, and Tennessee
- Effective size data for further analysis
- Consideration 1: Develop a collective and singular purpose
-
Consideration 2: A collaborative process that uses the Assessment Summit Executive Summary as a starting point
- Consideration 3: The use of a summative rating
- Consideration 4: Indicators
- Consideration 5: Future iteration indicators
- Consideration 6: Division-level aggregate accountability measures
- Consideration 7: Process for review at appropriate intervals
- Sample reports
Virginia ASCD stands ready to support our policymakers and legislative leaders as both a thought partner and an organization positioned to engage in the hard work associated with these transformational decisions. We are both eager and poised to collaborate with VDOE, VBOE, and other stakeholders in the Commonwealth.
