NCEO - MOVING YOUR NUMBERS: Five Districts Share How They Used Assessment and Accountability to Increase Performance for Students with Disabilities as Part of District-wide Improvement

2012

In Moving Your Numbers, five districts with vastly different demographics share their journey in using assessment and accountability as an impetus for positive change. In each case, assessment data were not held up as the reason why teachers couldn't teach or children couldn't learn beyond a narrow focus on teaching to the test. Instead, each district used the increasing demand for accountability for all students and groups of students to change the conversation and practice across the district, moving their numbers in a positive direction for all children as a result. This work, undertaken by NCEO, is designed to showcase the work of these districts as an impetus for encouraging people at all levels of the education enterprise to examine what they do and the degree to which their collective actions are making a positive difference for all students, including those identified as special education students, English Language Learners, and other children often characterized as high need.
