Should students be graded a new way — a system that aims to address a full range of skills to ensure they are ready for the future rather than relying on a system that was created in 1906?
The highly regarded Educational Testing Service and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching feel that way. On Monday, they announced that they have formed a partnership designed to radically transform education assessment across the U.S.
In collaboration with practitioners and policy-makers nationwide, the partnership aims to create a robust, scalable suite of assessment and analytic tools that captures the full range of skills required for American students to succeed in K-12, post-secondary education and beyond, the groups said.
