Overview
This proposed grant is to continue work on the Deeper Learning Student Assessment Initiative, which establishes a new model of achievement and accountability for students and teachers. It seeks to make broadly available a set of online performance assessments known as the Deeper Learning Student Assessment System. The system, aligned with the Common Core State Standards, uses performance assessments as a means to increase student achievement on deeper learning measures. It is a formative assessment, designed to modify teaching and learning to focus on the knowledge and skills that help students develop a complex understanding of an academic discipline.

for the Deeper Learning Leadership Forum
Envision Education hosts the Deeper Learning Leadership Forum, in addition to working with students, schools, and districts to improve student outcomes through the use of its portfolio defense approach. The Leadership Forum is a cohort-based leadership experience that aims to develop, strengthen, and support a group of educational leaders to work at the intersection of equity and design thinking. The grant enables Envision to support education leaders who are knowledgeable of deeper learning and equity issues and positioned to implement necessary changes inside their systems.
