Georgia “Wants In” on Innovative Assessment Pilot
October 4, 2018
Alyson Klein reports in Education Week that Georgia, which has announced their intention to apply for ESSA’s Innovative Assessment pilot, is taking a bit of a different approach by running “its own miniature innovative assessment competition,” which “ended up giving three consortia of districts the greenlight to work on new ‘formative’ assessments.” For all three consortia, these assessments would be brought together for an annual “summative” score, with the larger goal of giving educators a real-time picture of how students are doing.
