Other Results Matter: Closing the Achievement Gap Series - Results Driven Accountability:

Where were we? Where are we? Where do we go next? (2016, September). Webinar for Presence Learning, Inc.– The Results Driven Accountability (RDA) initiative from OSEP has unfolded over the past several years. Now it’s time to take stock of the past, present, and future of this important new chapter in the history of special education in America. With RDA, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) catalyzed a nationwide shift from a focus centered on procedural compliance…

Prepare for Impact: 3 key questions about RDA for everyday SPED administrators.

(2014, December). Webinar for Presence Learning, Inc. For the first time since its announcement of Results Driven Accountability (RDA), the U.S. Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) has rated states for compliance with IDEA and student achievement. Now, district leaders are asking a key question: “How does RDA affect me, my work, and my schools?” The answer? The focus is at the state level, but compliance with RDA requires district, school, and classroom perspective. Some states previously rated as meeting IDEA compliance requirements are now deemed by OSEP as needing assistance or intervention, designations that will require the states to take decisive actions to improve outcomes. This added emphasis on achievement will impact many districts as states rethink their strategies and their capacity for supporting local districts.
