How do we know if we are making improvements? Analyze: Academic Data College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI) Perception Data
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) *Flexibility Waiver *Flexible Learning Program (FLP) *Parent Information
WHAT is ESEA?Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) Flexibility WaiverFlexible Learning Program (FLP)What changed? ESEA waivers eliminate Supplemental Educational Services (SES) and Public School Choice (Choice) options. Systems no longer use the terms “needs improvement” (NI) based on adequate yearly progress (A YP) reports.What does the waiver do? The ESEA waivers provide greater flexibility for identified schools in designing a flexible learning program tailored to the needs of the school. Identified schools will have the capacity to serve more students in need for additional academic supports.NEW status terms: Reward, Priority, Focus and Alert Schools Title I schools will now implement specific programs and interventions based on this new status identification. Only Priority Schools and Focus Schools will be required to implement and develop flexible learning programs (FLP) beginning June 2012. Initial designations are based on 2011 test data.In addition, Georgia's new Single Statewide Accountability System, the College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI) will serve as a comprehensive report card for all schools in Georgia.
