Overview
The Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE) provides technical consulting and support to schools and districts that use performance-based assessment for evaluating student learning and measuring school performance. In a partnership with the RAND Corporation, SCALE will undertake a pilot project to examine how students’ completion, display, and defense of complex projects contributes to their development of deeper learning competencies; the pilot will include assessing competencies by collecting evidence of student behaviors via online learning management systems. Evidence of the feasibility and utility of assessments of hard-to-measure deeper learning competencies will be essential to expanding their use.

SPARQ, a research center at Stanford University, seeks to reduce societal disparities and social divides using behavioral science. This grant will support research to examine racial diversity in the financial services industry. It is expected that this information will be used to develop strategies and practices to reduce biases that contribute to racial disparities.
