Sustainability Rubric: A Tool to Help State Education Agencies Assess Their Current Efforts to Sustain Reform Strategies to Meet Student Achievement Goals

This rubric is a tool for SEAs to assess their capacities to sustain priority reforms. The rubric comprises three sections (1) "Context for Sustaining Reform," (2) "System Capacity," and (3) "Performance Management," each with multiple variables and elements to measure reform. A four-scale rating (i.e., inadequate, emerging, strong, and exemplary) is used for measurement and the rubric includes "look-fors" for guidance.
