Developing a Framework for Examining Validity in State Accountability Systems Ellen Forte Fast edCount, LLC AERA Division H Paper Presentation April 15, 2004

Validity in Accountability Systems “An accountability system can be said to have validity when the evidence is judged to be strong enough to support the inferences that: [1] the components of the system are aligned to the purposes, and are working in harmony to help the system accomplish those purposes; and [2] the system is accomplishing what was intended (and did not accomplish what was not intended.)” (Marion et al, 2002, p. 105). Accountability is not Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The overarching validity question is not “does this accountability system pick the right schools?”, but, rather, “does this accountability system do what it is intended to do?” Picking the right schools is only part of the answer.

The Framework — 1 Purpose — “to assist state and local educators in conceptualizing their plans for examining validity in their accountability systems” Structure — Part I — Foundations What are accountability systems? What is validity? What is validation? Part II — Framework for evaluating… the goals of the system and the theory of action by which those goals are to be achieved the indicators used to make accountability decisions the decision rules (including AYP) used to determine how schools and LEAs are categorized for the purpose of distributing rewards, sanctions, and interventions the consequences that are imposed for certain levels of performance as well as those that emerge subsequently

Goals Performance Indicators Decision RulesConsequences Theory of Action What are the goals that this accountability system is meant to achieve? Who is to be held accountable for these goals in this system? What consequences are associated with different levels of performance? What changes are these consequences meant to effect? How are the intended changes thought to be related to the overall goals? What indicators are included in the accountability system and how is each used? How well do the definitions of these indicators capture what is intended? How reliable are the indicators that are used to make high stakes accountability decisions? Do the results of the AYP model support the goals of the accountability system? Were the "right schools" identified for rewards, sanctions, and interventions? Are the results of the AYP model stable over time? How well are rewards, sanctions, and interventions implemented? How do school and LEA characteristics, as well as other facets of the context, moderate the implementation of the consequences? To what degree are the intended actions occurring in relation to the application of rewards, sanctions, and interventions? To what degree are negative, unintended consequences occurring in relation to the application of rewards, sanctions, and interventions? To what degree are the reform activities associated with achievement of the goals of the system? The Framework — 2
