In fact it isn't measurable at all because kids are individuals and learn at different rates. And when it comes to special education, many kids never progress that much and occasionally even regress.
"What bothers me most about the LA situation is that teachers were denied access to this information at a local level," Duncan said. "That is untenable to me. For them not to have access to it is absolutely nonsensical."
True, but what is worse is the fact Duncan, in bed with the billionaires, is pushing for business-style "reforms" in an institution that is NOT a business.

Most kids with special education needs regress because the school has refused to provide APPROPRIATE remediation and accommodation for their learning needs. Students are segregated into special education classes where administrators refuse to provide teachers with the training and tools to provide appropriate research validated remediation, & where corporate-owned dumbed down curriculum is relegating these students to the educational trash heap. Parents who try to challenge the bullying administrations to properly advocate for their children are attacked, isolated, and disenfranchised from protecting the civil rights of their children. Administrators use the taxpayer deep pockets for their legal teams to prevent parents from challenging inappropriate administrative maneuvers designed to keep students from getting the education they need.
