Description

Ohio's statewide accountability framework, administered by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, includes the Early Literacy Indicator to monitor K–3 literacy outcomes alongside other school-quality and student-success measures.

Components

  • Ohio's Early Literacy Indicator within the SQSS Accountability Indicator: Ohio's accountability system includes an early literacy indicator tracking how well schools support K-3 students in developing reading skills, situated within the School Quality and Student Success indicator. Per the paper, "The Early Literacy Indicator tracks improvement in three areas: kindergarten readiness, grade 1 and grade 2 literacy improvement, and grade 3 reading proficiency." The accountability component formalizes commitment by tracking proficiency on the grade 3 ELA test, promotion to grade 4, and improvement among students previously off track, and is embedded in a broader ecosystem including the science of reading framework, dyslexia screening law, and mandated teacher PD.
