New State-Level Data on State Education Reforms Website

Ω

New state-level data on state adoption of the Common Core State Standards and compulsory school attendance laws and exemptions are now available on the State Education Reforms website, hosted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the Institute of Education Sciences.

The State Education Reforms website, which draws primarily on data collected by organizations other than NCES, compiles and disseminates data on state-level education reform efforts in five general areas: 1) accountability, 2) assessment and standards, 3) staff qualifications and development, 4) state support for school choice and other options, and 5) student readiness and progress through school. Examples of specific reform topics within these areas are school report cards, student and teacher assessments, high school graduation policies, and professional development.

The “Student Readiness and Progress through School” section of the website had one table updated, and one table was added to the “Assessment and Standards” section. To locate these tables on the SER website, please look for the "Updated!" and “New!” tags next to the table titles.
