“For too long, assessment has been something that is ‘done to’ kids instead of with them,” said Gene Wilhoit, Center for Innovation in Education (CIE) Executive Director.

In March 2016, CIE and Next Generation Learning Challenges announced $2 million in grant awards for 12 Assessment for Learning projects to support educators in fundamentally rethinking the core roles that assessment can play to support the attainment of deeper learning. These 12 grantees are designing innovative ways to use assessment to build student agency, support a broader definition of student success and envision new systems of assessment and accountability.
