Laura Jimenez

Laura Jimenez
A public education played a powerful role in Laura’s life. She naturally pursued a profession in education policy to provide the same opportunity to all of America’s schoolchildren. On this path, she has taught English as a Second Language as a Peace Corps volunteer, led large education programs and nonprofits, and, led federal education policy programs. Currently, she generates policy ideas on the topic of improving school performance and college and career readiness at the Center for American Progress.
AAPF18 Sessions: 
Accountability Systems for Alternative High Schools
Eskolta and the Center for American Progress produced a report reviewing the innovative efforts of New York City to reimagine accountability metrics for schools serving overage, under-credited youth. This was then supported through analysis of seven years of data on a single cohort of 70,000 New York City high school students. In this session, we will share our findings and recommendations, and facilitate questions around why graduation, testing, and climate measures need to be rethought and the implications for carrying out this work. Accountability is too often discussed only in relation to changing cut scores, but in fact this is about rethinking methods of calculation, attribution, comparison, and cohorting students.

the annual alternative accountability policy forum is aN Education policy conference from:
