This committee will examine Georgia’s
current accountability platform, the College and Career Ready Performance Index
(CCRPI), and help make refinements to the model, taking a responsible approach
to accountability and finding a way to represent school performance in a
public-friendly manner. The goal is to develop a tool that is flexible enough
to align with the individual strategic goals of schools and districts,
capturing and encouraging innovation while also providing useful data to guide
improvement. The end result should be less cumbersome and burdensome for
districts and schools, while still providing an accurate assessment of student
achievement and school quality.
SCOPE
- Refinement/Enhancements of CCRPI as well as incorporating new indicators and subgroup reporting as required by ESSA
CHARGE
- Develop feedback questions for stakeholders for feedback sessions throughout the state
- Discuss stakeholder input, U.S. Department of Education’s (USED) regulations/guidance, focus areas identified by the State Advisory Committee, and working committee-assigned portions of ESSA
- Coordinate with other working committees to write Georgia’s draft state plan
ACCOUNTABILITY
Georgia’s ESSA Working Committees report to GaDOE’s ESSA
Leadership Team throughout the development process. The ESSA Leadership Team
will ensure that benchmarks are being met and working committees are
coordinating efforts to produce a cohesive draft ESSA State Plan.
The draft ESSA State Plan will be presented to the Advisory
Committee for feedback. There will also be a review period for the public,
State School Superintendent, State Board of Education, and Governor’s Office.
