Overview
The Educational Policy Improvement Center helps educators better equip students for postsecondary success. The grantee will work with the Anaheim Union High School District to enable teachers to use a deliberate reflective practice whereby students consider their own interests, connections, and learning to reinforce mastery of their goals. This work, undertaken as one of a cohort of new grants that are research-practice partnerships, will document the necessary elements for similar implementation in other districts and will introduce new theories about the spread of innovative practices.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
With renewed support, the Educational Policy Improvement Center will continue its work with state agencies, nongovernmental organizations, school districts, and networks to conduct research, develop programs and tools to implement academic standards for college readiness, and develop and scale tests of deeper learning.
for assistance to states in understanding and developing assessments related to deeper learning
The University of Oregon’s Education Policy Improvement Center (EPIC) and the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity propose to partner with the Council of Chief State School Officers to provide technical assistance and coordination to a group of states committed to serve as "innovation labs" for developing twenty-first-century learning systems. These systems will deliver performance assessments that support deeper learning aligned to the Common Core standards.
for general operating support
The Educational Policy Improvement Center will work with state agencies, national nongovernmental organizations, school districts, and networks to conduct research and develop programs and tools to implement the Common Core standards and aligned assessments. The Center’s goals closely match our strategy, and general operating support would give it flexibility to respond to increasing demand for its services.
