This session will describe national efforts to rethink assessments for learning based on a new vision, one deeply invested in equity, to catalyze innovation and the creation of a learning agenda to inform the next Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) reauthorization. Working together with state leaders and the field, we examine how to recenter the needs of local stakeholders in national conversations about rethinking accountability with better transparency while improving assessments, measurement, and school quality.
