Just Published: “Local Context Matters” Accountability EdPaper Colorado’s geographic and cultural diversity defy a one-size-fits-all model, and education is no exception. In our latest Accountability EdPaper, we explore why a school district’s local context is critical in defining and measuring school quality.   The second paper in our series, “Local Context Matters” highlights key topics including: • Building community-created visions for student success.  • Learning from the Student-Centered Accountability Program and Local Accountability System Grant Program. • Spotlighting school district efforts in Holyoke and West Grand. • Considering the role of local measures in the future of school and district accountability frameworks.
