How is the growth model included in School Accountability, District Accreditation, and Adequate Yearly Progress under No Child Left Behind?
The Education Accountability Act of 2009 tasks CDE with creating a method for bringing these three accountability systems into alignment, and the Colorado Growth Model is an integral piece of this planned alignment. The state has already obtained approval from the U.S. Department of Education to use the data from its growth model for the calculation of Adequate Yearly Progress. In 2010, the State Board of Education adopted the rules necessary for full implementation of the Education Accountability Act of 2009.
