18. State Report Cards and Thoughtful Accountability

In this episode:

• What data (from which years) goes into state report cards
• How "achievement," "growth," "target groups," "on-track-to-graduation," "chronic absenteeism," etc. are technically defined
• How different stakeholders can/should interpret state reports
• Just to keep it interesting, does WSTEM have "incubator" value? Why or why not?
