Accountability and Continuous Improvement
Breadcrumb
Effective accountability systems support schools and districts in overcoming barriers and challenges to effective teaching and learning. By providing the data, capacity building, and support needed to identify strengths and challenges, these systems help schools make necessary and continuous improvements to ensure that all students receive a quality education. In an accountable system, students are engaged in meaningful learning, taught by competent and caring professionals, and supported by adequate resources to ensure that they have opportunities to thrive in school and graduate with the knowledge and skills necessary to be effective citizens and contributors to a democratic society.
