Provides authority and specifies a process for the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) and the State Board of Education to implement an accountability system that recognizes successful schools and requires certain actions by school districts with persistently lowest-achieving schools, according to federal definitions. Requires development and implementation of new classroom teacher and principal four-level rating evaluation systems with specified minimum criteria, and extends provisional status for non-supervisory certificated staff from two to three years. Requires public colleges of education that offer residency certification to submit a proposal to offer an alternative route program. It also authorizes the SPI to provisionally adopt, by August 2, 2010, the Common Core Standards developed by a multi-state consortium, but prohibits implementation until the Legislature has an opportunity for review.
