About this event

The New York State Education Department recently released a memo outlining the changes to school accountability measures as a result of the legislation from the 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act, which has replaced the widely known No Child Left Behind Act from 2001.

These changes include: new school accountability categories, new metric systems, and new designations for identifying schools who are below, meeting, or exceeding state expectations. What do these mean for your school?

Join Dr. Roberta Lenger Kang as she breaks down the latest changes to NYS accountability standards and helps you to analyze school data, create strategic plans for your school, and reach your target goals.

All educators are welcome, but this session is best for school & district leaders.
