The U.S. Department of Education introduced a Results-Driven Accountability (RDA) framework in 2014 to emphasize the simultaneous importance of state education agencies ensuring compliance with Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004) and improving student outcomes. States must collect accurate data regarding LEA implementation of services and student outcomes and use those data to drive statewide program improvements.
