NCLB Waiver for CORE Districts:
Overview and Key Activities
September 2013
How does this support LAUSD, specifically?
• Creates infrastructure to support collaboration across schools and districts
to build knowledge and share practices in support of our students
becoming college and career-ready
• Aligns with our district initiative to support the Common Core roll-out
• Aligns with our district initiatives to support Teacher and Leadership
development and evaluation
• Creates a new accountability system that:
– recognizes performance growth
– over time will base evaluation of school performance on multiple
measures, including academics, social/emotional factors and school
culture and climate factors
– captures positive or negative changes in school achievement gaps
– invites shared responsibility of accountability across and within districts
