Studies on the design of state accountability systems should start with the needs of various constituencies and move to a determination of the extent to which timely, straightforward, and
equitable results can be
produced, and in what manner.
The more we coordinate, the more likely we will be able to create the multiple pathways that schools, districts, and states need to create high quality personalized, competency - based systems that
produce different
results — that are
equitable and fair.
