Department of Education - Accountability

Accountability

In response to the 2001 reauthorization of the Elementary & Secondary Education Act (ESEA), otherwise known as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), the Nevada Legislature revised its own accountability statutes through passage of Senate Bill 1 in the 19th Special Session (June 2003). At the heart of both the federal and revised state statutes is a school, school district, and state accountability model working under the auspice of guaranteeing all students the opportunity for and access to a challenging and meaningful educational experience. Toward this end and on an annual basis, schools, school districts, and the state as a whole are judged against a set of adequate yearly progress (AYP) criteria.

Judgment of success in making adequate yearly progress is based largely on performance on assessments aligned to state content standards administered on an annual basis, and by attending specifically to the performance of specific student populations. Accountability is one part of a dynamic system of continuous improvement in teaching practice and student learning.
