The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center), in partnership with the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), has released a paper outlining a vision for creating the next generation of state assessments that can make the Common Core State Standards concrete and meaningful to educators, students, and parents and provide a vehicle for ensuring all students master essential knowledge and skills.
The paper is informed by meetings, convened by NGA and CCSSO earlier this year, of the leaders of the six assessment consortia that had already formed to seek Race to the Top funds, and have since condensed to two consortia for the purpose of pursuing common assessments. For further information, read the full paper or contact the NGA Office of Communications at 202-624-5301.
