It will enable states to re-think their testing systems and pilot new approaches \u2014 helping to develop the next generation of statewide assessments. The opportunity to craft new assessment approaches and to implement the resulting tests slowly over time will give states using the IADA the chance to apply and share lessons learned from implementation to improve assessments across the country. This authority is needed <\/span><b>only when a State begins to use an innovative assessment, instead of the statewide test<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, for accountability and reporting purposes in a subset of its districts and schools. It is based on the statute in ESEA section 1204 and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gpo.gov\/fdsys\/pkg\/FR-2016-12-08\/pdf\/2016-29126.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">final regulations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> under Title I, part B. A State may <\/span><b>develop an innovative assessment in all required grades and subjects or a subset of them.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The innovative assessment may be in any required grade or subject, include one more types of assessments, and must produce an annual summative determination of each student\u2019s master of grade-level content standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that some states may be interested in the IADA but may not be ready to implement an innovative assessment until 2020-2021 or beyond. The Department expects to conduct additional application reviews in the future until seven States are awarded the authority. If states are interested in receiving some assistance in advance of possible future application periods, please contact Donald Peasley (<\/span><a href=\"mailto:Donald.Peasley@ed.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donald.Peasley@ed.gov<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Technical Assistance and Resources Available for Advancing Next-Generation Systems of Assessments<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January 2018, iNACOL held a webinar, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inacol.org\/resource\/innovative-assessment-pilot-new-opportunity-states-districts-collaborate-developing-next-generation-systems-assessments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Innovative Assessment Pilot: A New Opportunity for States and Districts to Collaborate in Developing Next Generation Systems of Assessments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
