Assessment & Accountability Listening Tour​

​I was looking at my Apple Music wrapped, and it got me thinking about “ISBE wrapped” this year. In March, when my top artist was Green Day, we kicked off our big effort to redesign our statewide system of support, right-size proficiency benchmarks on our state assessments, and realign our accountability framework. The system we currently have isn't really a “Basket Case,” but it definitely needs major revision to reach the goal of engaging all schools in continuous improvement. In October and November, as we gathered feedback from stakeholders at Regional Office of Education meetings, the state superintendent conference, and principal association conference, and the Triple I conference, my top artist – Journey – reminded me that we should “Faithfully” believe in this work.
