Common use of Performance-Based Accountability Clause in Contracts

Performance-Based Accountability. IDVA uses technology to alter the typical school day and school year—to change the dynamics of time and learning as well as what is measured and how it is measured. Students progress through the curriculum at the pace that meets their individual needs. Mastering curriculum early allows students to move ahead and those who need extra time or remediation are able to work at an individualized pace. Our approach is to focus on measuring learning,. The Internet- student learning system measures “positive attendance” (i.e., time spent on task)—and allows us to measure learning (as evidenced by mastery of our daily assessments) in “real time.” Since IDVA is a mastery-based program, we continually assess student progress through the curriculum via lesson-, unit-, and semester assessments. Each student’s level of achievement is assessed on a daily basis, according to explicit and measurable achievement standards, dictated by the k12 curriculum.
