Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The Policy Innovators in Education Network is an independent nonprofit that connects, accelerates, and amplifies the work of 49 state-based advocacy organizations. The Network would assist its members in understanding current proposed changes in state assessments and their policy implications by identifying and distributing resources; providing related training; and developing and deepening connections among advocates. Better informed and prepared reform advocates can help ensure that a majority of students are assessed on deeper learning knowledge and skills and that their test results are actionable for improving state testing, strengthening accountability for meaningful learning, and supporting school reform.
