The Deeper Learning Student Assessment Initiative was created by four partner school systems—Envision Schools, New Tech Network, ConnectEd, and Asia Society—to establish a new paradigm of achievement and accountability for students and teachers. The Initiative seeks to create a comprehensive way to assess deeper learning performance with online technology: the Deeper Learning Student Assessment System. This openly licensed system of instruction and assessment is aligned with the Common Core State Standards and uses performance assessment practice to drive students’ achievement in deeper learning.
