The federal law enables state leaders to redesign systems of assessments, accountability models and educator preparation and development around student learning and equity. States now have opportunities to build education systems that prepare young people for success in postsecondary education, the workforce, and civil society.<\/p>\n<p>Under ESSA, states can now rethink the purpose, role, and design of their accountability systems, reframing them for continuous improvement of student learning toward new, more meaningful definitions of success through data-rich learning environments. A new definition of success is crucial to drive coherent system improvements that are built around students\u2014including instructional shifts, systems of assessments, expanded pathways, and better learning environments connected to communities and to the real world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;
