COMMUNITY-BASED ACCOUNTABILITY

Community-Based Accountability With a vision of preparing future-ready students, Northwest ISD is working to create a transformational shift

in education. By listening to the characteristics and standards that the NISD community values, the district is

developing a local standard that looks beyond test scores to help assess student learning. A committee of NISD

students, teachers, parents, and administrators created this Community-Based Accountability and measures of

success focusing on four community values: Academic Preparation and College Readiness; Personal Growth and

Success; Citizenship and Community Service; and Student, Parent, Community, and Staff Participation.

(*) As determined in actions of the 83rd Texas Legislature, 2013 (House Bill 5), data will be reported to the Texas Education Agency in August of each year.

RESEARCHIt

is understood that ePortfolio practice

exhibits characteristics that overlap those linked to

mastery goal orientation, motivating students to

excel and explore a task in depth.

An ePortfolio can be defined as ‘a digital

container capable of storing visual and auditory

content including text, images, video, and sound’

ePortfolio use is reported to have the potential in

advancing students’ reflective ability, a widely recognized attribute of deep

learning
