Accountability Crosswalk

With approval of the state's ESSA plan, Wisconsin now has two accountability systems: a state system (Accountability Report Cards) and a federal system under ESSA (reporting format to be determined). There are similarities between the two systems but also important differences. We have created an Accountability Crosswalk to help explain these differences. Please note that the crosswalk is a DRAFT that includes the latest information but is subject to change. We will continue to refine the crosswalk over the coming months and update accordingly.
