| Every SREB state has taken actions aimed at holding schools accountable
for improved student achievement. Several SREB states are recognized
nationally as leaders in implementing school accountability systems that
are getting results.
States with comprehensive approaches to school accountability are
showing significant gains. It is now clear that state efforts to hold
schools accountable for results and to provide schools with the necessary
support are beginning to pay significant dividends. This report, part of
the Educational Benchmarks 2000 Series reviews SREB states progress
in accountability and outlines the basic considerations that are important
in making ratings and assistance work as part of a state’s comprehensive
accountability system
