What is strong academic performance? How do quality authorizers define it, how do they monitor for it, and how do they use academic performance to make high-stakes decisions about the charter schools they authorize? The first half of this two-part session will include an overview of the new NACSA Academic Performance Framework with examples of how this has been applied at ten pilot sites. The second half will be a workshop, providing participants with the opportunity to discuss and investigate performance framework implementation strategies, considering: authorizer environment implications; stakeholder outreach; leadership buy-in; and how to effectively roll out new accountability expectations to charter schools—both legally and transparently. Presenters will share both a national view and practical applications of strong academic oversight by authorizers. Participants will leave with tools and techniques for improving their accountability practices.
