The Success Gaps Rubric was developed at the IDEA Data Center, a technical assistance center at Westat funded by the U.S. Department of Education‘s Office of Special Education Programs. The rubric is the newest CDE-approved self-assessment tool having been published in June 2021.
The Success Gaps Rubric is designed to help any school district or school identify the root causes for success gaps. The Rubric addresses five content areas: 1) Data-based Decision-making, 2) Cultural Responsiveness, 3) Core Instructional Program, 4) Assessment – Universal Screening and Program Monitoring, and 5) Interventions and Supports.
In addition to the Rubric, there is a guide, Completing the Success Gaps Rubric.
