Description

The report's first lesson is that a state education agency should assemble staff from many departments to design and deliver the RAR, including the offices of the superintendent, student support services, teaching and learning, special education, state and federal programs, educator effectiveness, financial operations, assessment and accountability, and information technology. The authors argue that "Leveraging the perspectives of multiple departments in the design process enables the state education agency (SEA) to engage in a way that encourages creativity and shared responsibility," producing more effective resource allocation and support for schools.
