In 2005, Measure What Matters Assessment & Accountability Council member Dr. Angela Valenzuela wrote,“At issue is not whether school districts should be held accountable, but what means should be used to accomplish the widely shared goals of ensuring that all children receive a high-quality education.” The question still resonates today.  \nA Report from the Measure What Matters Assessment & Accountability Council is our call to action to hold ourselves accountable as a state for designing the educational systems our students and families need and deserve. For Texas to remain a national leader in public education, it is imperative that we utilize the vast expertise that exists across the state in order to design a more relevant assessment and accountability system. While many great efforts are evident throughout Texas schools, we continue to rely on a very narrow measure of school performance to define a ‘good school.’ At present, 100% of an elementary or middle school’s accountability rating is based on STAAR scores; STAAR scores are also the predominant factor for high school ratings. The quest for more meaningful ways to measure student learning and make continued progress toward the goal of an excellent education for all students is a call that brings us together as Texans.  \n1 Introduction: The Accountability Debate in Texas: Continuing the Conversation. [https://www.academia](https://www.academia).  \nedu/68735011/Introduction The Accountability Debate in Texas Continuing the Conversation  \nOn this journey, we would do well to listen to the voices of those closest to the reality of our current assessment and accountability system in Texas: our teachers. In the Charles Butt Foundation’s third annual report on Texas teachers’attitudes toward the profession and the state of public education in Texas (2022), a representative and random sample of 1,291 Texas public school teachers was selected from the Texas Education Agency’s roster of 376,007 teachers. The results are a resounding vote of no confidence in our accountability system as it is currently structured, with 98% of educators indicating a lack of confidence in the A-F single grade ratings system. The report also showed that 63% of educators feel ratings should be based on a combination of test scores as well as other factors that capture student learning.  \nFurthermore, the emphasis on STAAR scores in our A-F system seems to be contributing to the frustration that is driving teachers from the profession in record numbers. In the report, 81% of educators cite undue pressure placed on students to perform well on standardized assessments as a significant barrier to teaching. This singular focus on standardized tests causes a narrowed focus on a subset of the curriculum, which then leads to a lack of teacher control and autonomy over what is taught in the classroom.
