The Elementary and Secondary Education Act and subsequent re-authorizations in 2001 and 2015 mandate that states implement statewide accountability systems. Describe the provisions that states must implement to comply with these legislative requirements.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: States still muse implement an accountability system that includes test scores of all students in every public school. Students must be tested on reading and math in Grades 3–8 and once in high school, as well as three times in science between Grades 3 and 12. Test results must be reported by subgroups including students with disabilities. No more than 10% of students with disabilities may take an alternate assessment based on alternate academic achievement standards.
