NCEO Framework for Educational Accountability.

Abstract

Recent federal legislation, from the passage of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act in 1990 to the Amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1997, has 11 focused greater attention on the issues of and the need for standards-based education reform. The National Association of State Directors of Special Education (NASDSE) developed a conceptual model for a balanced system of accountability that includes system standards, inputs and processes, and student learning outcomes. We at the National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) developed a framework for educational in which we specify outcomes and indicators for six developmental levels (ages three and six, grades four, eight, and twelve, and post-school). We describe how the NCEO framework can be used to implement parts of the NASDSE model. In addition to a description of the NCEO Framework for Educational Accountability, we describe the domains, indicators, and sources of information that can be adopted or adapted for use in system-wide or individual accountability.
