With ESSA accountability now standard for school
districts across the nation, IASA is doing what it can to
keep you on the cutting edge of what you need to know
and how you can comply with these standards. This
August and September take advantage and register
for the academy learning course—
ESSA: School
Accountability Under Illinois Plan
—
AA #1917
that
we have scheduled in regions all across the state. This
academy is designed not just for you but for your team
of staff, including administrative personnel and teacher
leaders to communicate the requirements of ESSA to your
constituents and communities. Along with the academy,
we have scheduled training specifically for you on the free
IASA/ECRA Strategic Dashboard designed to help school
districts tell their story.
Learn more about the IASA /ECRA Strategic Dashboard and
its components on pages 11–13 of this month’s
Leadership
Matters
. We only expect this accountability push to intensify
so we encourage you to be as prepared as possible and
adopt the tools you need to tell your story in the most realistic
and creative way possible. Our strategic dashboard can be
customized specifically to include your own district data,
providing the ability for you to add digital content in order to
visually tell your story. Check it out!
Best wishes for a successful new school year!
