Future Ready PA Index
Out with the Old...In with the New
What is the Future Ready PA Index?
Beginning in the Fall of 2018, the state of Pennsylvania will use a public dashboard called Future Ready PA Index for transparency and accountability purposes. The state will continue to calculate SPP scores for schools to be used for the evaluation of educators, however, the calculations will not serve as the state's measure of school performance. PDE created the Future Ready PA Index to meet the requirements of ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act), which was signed into law in 2015. The Index is a more holistic school evaluation tool that will highlight how schools are performing and how they are making progress on multiple indicators. See the key components below.
