Accountability to School Improvement: Examining and Bridging the Gap in New Hampshire
A seamless cycle of accountability and school improvement is critical to ensuring an effective ESEA program implementation. Yet, this can be challenging for states and districts with varying organizational layers and stakeholders, leading to unintended effect on schools and students. By highlighting New Hampshire’s efforts to address this challenge, this session provides attendees with practical strategies to continuously improve their federal program design and implementation. It will first discuss New Hampshire’s new impact analysis, examining the efficacy of its accountability and school improvement programs. Two state representatives from accountability and school improvement offices will then present practices to enhance inter-office alignment and stakeholder understanding of key policies and resources. Lastly, a superintendent will provide district strategies for using such resources, including helping schools analyze accountability data and effectively deploy Title funds.
