Overview
The Center for American Progress (CAP) is an independent, nonpartisan educational institute promoting progressive ideas and action. This grant would allow CAP to examine pressing questions regarding emerging school accountability models, to work with the Council of Chief State School Officers to document accountability reforms at the state level, and to influence public conversations on the topic. This work would clarify the extent to which deeper learning outcomes are incorporated in current school accountability reforms and advance understanding among advocates and policymakers of the use of more robust measures of student achievement.
