Performance-Based Accountability for Schools
Accountability in a portfolio district is focused on results and continuous improvement. In a portfolio district, it is commonly understood that effective educators are rewarded, effective schools are replicated, struggling schools receive strong support, and chronically low-performing schools are closed.
Metrics for Districts Implementing Portfolio Accountability Strategy
Invest in promise
- Increasing % of new schools that are expansions or replications of successful schools
- Increasing % of low-performing schools hiring proven principals
Divest from failure
- Increasing % of persistently failing schools closed or replaced
- Declining % of principals with failing records retained (3 years with low performance and no growth)
New investments pay off
- Decreasing % of students in failing schools
- Positive average gain for students moving from closed school to another district or charter school
- Positive average gain for students moving from closed school to newly opened school
- Equal or higher performance for students in newly opened schools relative to comparable students in comparable existing schools
