Since 2017, Colorado Education Initiative has collaborated with national organizations, supported district and charter accountability pilots, and worked in partnership with advocacy organizations, philanthropy, and state agencies to explore the future of accountability. The topic has new relevance in the wake of COVID-19, including for students and families. With assessment shifts, a multi-year pause to state accountability, and deeper understanding of local school quality measures, now is the time for action.
