Overview

The Accountability Work Group (AWG) serves as an advisory group to CDE on state and federal policy implementation and practice at the state, district and school levels. This group will consider input from other stakeholders, when possible, in developing recommendations to the department. Members will engage on the various aspects of the Colorado accountability system including: frameworks, improvement planning, public reporting, stakeholder engagement, supports, accountability clock processes, awards, accreditation and studies.

While the AWG has been in operation for many years, the recent Accountability Bill (H.B. 25-1278) formalized the group as a state advisory group. This included requiring specific roles and setting representation and naming the Commissioner of Education as the appointer.

Membership

This group consists of multiple stakeholder perspectives, including regional superintendent representatives, school and district leadership, charter school leadership, Colorado Association of School Executives (CASE), Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB), Colorado Education Association (CEA) leaders, advocacy and civil rights group members and parents.
