Overview
The RAND Corporation is non-profit think tank that aims to help policymakers make decisions that are based on the best available information. This project would enable the development of the infrastructure for a repository of hard-to-measure competencies. This project supports the Program’s overarching strategy to have high-quality assessments drive, facilitate, and validate instructional approaches that promote deeper learning; it also supports the sub-strategy to help establish the utility and feasibility of new measures of deeper learning competencies not currently assessable at scale.
