The Accountability Systems and Reporting (ASR) state collaborative project has been assisting states to develop and improve statewide systems since 2000. Currently 28 state education agencies are participating members in ASR, including states with well-developed statewide accountability systems as well as states developing and improving statewide systems of accountability and reporting. Recent priority activities of the ASR Collaborative have focused on four areas: (1) state planning for accountability systems that adequately meet requirements for determining adequate yearly progress (AYP) of schools and districts under the No Child Left Behind Act, (2) establishing standards for the essential components of state accountability systems, (3) improving accountability reporting models and use of data to guide school improvement, and (4) sharing strategies and research-based evidence to improve the validity of accountability systems.
