for supporting socioculturally responsive assessment systems anchored in OpenSciEd
The Learning Policy Institute conducts high-quality research to improve education policy and practice.

With the institute’s support, states will develop fair, valid, and meaningful assessments by producing research, examples, and guidance for socioculturally responsive assessment practices in science.
