Slide 8

# What This Means

## Allowed states to gear up their systems

## Not penalize one program over another

## Did not allow disaggregate data to be a large factor until recently

## Until recently states were held to a baseline increment not a performance average

## Definitions often allowed advantages over performance

# Next Steps 

## Improve uniformity and standardization

## Show relationship between performance (state, district, school) and reward

## Improve data collection systems

## Tie system of rewards and sanctions to performance and planning
