A Risk-Based Monitoring Gumbo

A Risk-based Monitoring Gumbo is a concept derived from Louisiana’s official state cuisine, gumbo. Gumbo is made by adding varying layers of ingredients, all important to the taste and texture of the final soup. Like gumbo, LDOE’s risk-based monitoring requires layers of data, analysis, and evaluation to identify the most appropriate monitoring experience for our systems. Presenters will demonstrate how the LDOE has recommitted to stakeholders to ensure sustainable federal program monitoring amid challenges and a pandemic. An in-depth discussion of this cutting-edge model and how it’s tailored to evaluate performance measures and compliance will serve as the core of this session. The audience will have the opportunity to: walk through the selection process; understand risk indicators, data, and rank; review a monitoring report card; and explore monitoring experiences with protocols. A monitoring gumbo like no other. Don’t miss the LDOE flavor!

Angela Randall

Angela Washington Randall joined the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) in 2003. She currently serves as Executive Director of the Division of Statewide Monitoring with the Office of Federal Program Support and Grantee Relations. Angela has spent most of her career working with federal program oversight, federal program monitoring, education policy, and civil rights laws. After transitioning from her work in the public school system, she spent a number of years assisting in the development of state procedures for implementing compliant programs under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). As a result, Angela has played an integral role in many student-centered policy changes in Louisiana. Under her leadership and along with a committed team of colleagues, Louisiana now offers a cutting-edge system of monitoring procedures that encompass numerous federal programs including ESSA and IDEA. The monitoring processes have evolved from a one-sized fits all approach to a risk-based tiered process. Angela grew up in Patterson, Louisiana, a small quaint town located along the banks of the gulf. Patterson is home to the Shrimp and Petroleum festival. Angela still loves everything about small-town southern living, particularly family time, good music, “gumbo”, and festivals. She also enjoys traveling, and beach destinations are her favorite. Angela considers herself a life-long education advocate and certainly has the stripes to prove it.
