CO Code § 22-11-701 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 22 - Education|Article 11 - Accreditation|Part 7 - Local Accountability Systems|§ 22-11-701. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds that:   The statewide accountability system relies substantially on large-scale, state-administered assessment results to measure public school and school district performance. Using these results provides a limited picture of the successes of and challenges faced by public schools and school districts and may not fully reflect the priorities and values of local communities.    Several public schools and school districts in Colorado and in other states have begun experimenting with accountability structures that measure a broader range of student competencies and system effectiveness, which provides an opportunity for the state to learn from different approaches to measuring public school and school district performance;    Public schools and school districts in Colorado have also begun experimenting with additional measures of college and career readiness; and    A broader-based accountability system is consistent with the vision and framework adopted by the state education leadership council, created by executive order B 2017 001, and may provide the information necessary to move toward the council's goals concerning student competencies and learning environment characteristics. Specifically, the council's report recommends the following with regard to accountability:   Continuous evaluation of state-level accountability and assessment policies, taking into consideration the viewpoints of multiple stakeholders;    Support for ongoing research and evaluation of state assessment systems;    Allowance for the experimentation necessary to effectively eliminate performance gaps, give local value to accountability, and drive meaningful, continuous improvement efforts; and    Definition and inclusion of locally important measures, such as engagement, employment, and higher education attainment outcomes, and incorporation of these measures into accountability policies.          The general assembly finds, therefore, that it is in the best interests of the state to strengthen the accountability system for public schools and school districts by encouraging and supporting the development of local accountability systems that may inform the continuous improvement of the state's public school accountability system.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 22 - Education|Article 13 - School Leadership|Part 2 - School Leadership Pilot Program|§ 22-13-201. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly finds that:   Effective school leadership is second only to teaching with regard to the in-school components identified as having the greatest effect on student learning and outcomes;    A recent report by the department of education and the department of higher education concerning teacher shortages in Colorado states that, in identifying reasons for leaving a school, teachers cite poor or ineffective school leadership. To address the teacher shortage, the report recommends providing improved educational leadership preparation and professional development to assist principals in creating positive school climate and culture.    School principals are expected to fill many roles that move far beyond administrative tasks, including setting a school-wide vision for student learning and outcomes, creating a school-wide climate that is hospitable to learning, providing instructional leadership with educators, nurturing a professional learning community with the educators in the school, and cultivating leadership in others so that the school operates on a distributive and collaborative leadership model;    There are examples of excellent principals in public schools in Colorado who successfully practice distributive and collaborative leadership and have built and maintained a strong collaborative learning community in their schools that results in positive student outcomes. School principals in Colorado should have the opportunity to observe and learn from these excellent principals to be able to replicate best practices in their own schools.    Creating a cohort of public school principals throughout the state who have the opportunity to observe and learn from excellent principals and together develop their leadership skills and learn to implement best practices in leading a public school community is likely to result in school improvement throughout the state and better student academic outcomes; and    Improving school leadership through a program that empowers public school principals to build their leadership skills and teaches them to effectively implement distributive and collaborative leadership is likely to result in improvements in the climate and culture of public schools, decreased educator turnover, and a reduction in the teacher shortage experienced by many public schools.       The general assembly finds, therefore, that it is necessary for the benefit of public education in Colorado to direct the department of education to design and implement a program to provide embedded, experiential training for a cohort of public school principals to enable them to provide distributive and collaborative leadership within their public schools that supports increased educator retention, improved school climate and culture, and improved student academic outcomes.
