Questions to considerQuestions to consider
What are most promising strategies for building college & work readiness assessments into state testing systems?
What other indicators are needed, beyond assessments? How can states put the pieces together to create a coherent
system of indicators and incentives? How should new accountability systems be phased in? What are the capacity & resource implications if the bar is
raised for schools? What relation, if any, should there be to federal
accountability ratings?
