In that video, we talk about the importance of using multiple measures like student performance and academic growth in key subjects, college and career readiness, and access to high-quality courses including the arts to evaluate school quality. Based on these ingredients, schools are then assigned a rating of Exemplary, Commendable, Underperforming, or Lowest-Performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A year after launching the new designations, ISBE is traveling the state to hear about what\u2019s working and what can be improved. The Springfield event was well attended and many of the participants echoed Stand\u2019s opinion that the state\u2019s focus on academic growth was critically important for recognizing schools that are improving student learning. Other participants brought up concerns about the state\u2019s Exemplary designation, fearing it\u2019s too closely correlated to schools that are adequately or above adequately funded. Some supported the idea of broadening the Exemplary category to include mentions of schools that showed above average student growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/stand.org\/illinois\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/07\/Stand-for-Children-Accountability-Listening-Tour-Comments.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read Stand\u2019s full comments here<\/a>, but there is still time if you would like to provide us with additional feedback!
