Standards & Accountability Initiative

Closing the Gap: Fulfilling the Promise of Standards for All Children

PEN’s standards and accountability initiative is designed to build community accountability so that all children have the supports they need to meet high standards of achievement. The initiative focuses on two outcomes:

1.

Deeper community understanding of the implications for children, schools, and communities in setting high standards of academic achievement for all children.

2.

Greater community responsibility for making sure all children, especially those furthest from meeting standards, achieve at high levels as defined in PEN’s opportunities-to-learn framework:

 

Every child enters school ready to learn

Every child has access to a rich curriculum aligned to standards

Every child receives quality instruction in a school environment conducive to learning

Every child has access to community services that support and enhance learning
