Department of Accountability & Accreditation
The Accountability and Accreditation Department of the Thompson School District oversees school and student level data collection and analysis, state and district-wide assessment systems, school continuous improvement, school effectiveness plans, and the school accreditation process. In addition, the department supports staff and families, board members and other stakeholders in understanding implications that available data has for improving educational systems, teacher practice, and student outcomes.
Multiple measures throughout the year, including multiple data perspectives, are deployed to increase credibility and validity of the use of data to inform decision-making. As we measure the progress of students towards the highest academic proficiency, creativity and critical thinking, we also track measures of student, staff and family perceptions of safety and belonging and provide measures of post secondary readiness. Results are used to monitor student growth, make instructional and systemic decisions, evaluate programs and provide accountability.
This department is also responsible for the administration of the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP). The district's annual report and student achievement and growth reports for elementary, middle and high schools are also produced by the Accountability and Accreditation department.
