A Balanced System of Student Assessment

To create a balanced system of student assessment, the Future of Learning Coalition is working to shift the Illinois accountability assessment culture from one that relies solely on standardized tests to one that more broadly integrates high quality interim assessments that are district selected and provide teachers with actionable data to improve teaching and learning, in comprehensive areas including academic competency, social-emotional development, and 21st-century skills.
