The initiative will award twelve to fifteen grants for educators to fundamentally rethink the roles that assessment should play to advance student learning and to improve our K-12 education system.<\/p>\n<p>The term \u201cRequest for Learning\u201d was an intentional choice to signal that the effort strives to reflect the innovative thinking and action expected from applicants in order to embody the principles of formative assessment and support continuous learning, personalization, and innovation. Although the initial number of grants will be relatively small, this is a tremendous opportunity to harness the wisdom of educators and practitioners to gain a broader understanding of the innovative assessment work already underway and will also inform the next phase of this work. For more detail about the Request for Learning, an overview is provided below and all materials can be found on the <a href=\"http:\/\/nextgenlearning.org\/assessment-learning-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NGLC website<\/a>.
