"It’s really been amazing to see the roles technology, software and data play in public education. Across public education in general, software is trying to solve problems that are major and very new in some cases regarding how students are learning material.”

Measuring School Quality Beyond Standardized Test Results
The Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Education Assessment (MCIEA) recognized that standardized testing—often biased by narrow-minded questions and an overemphasis on scores—fails to accurately capture student learning outcomes, and is a poor predictor of future success. The partnership seeks to provide more accurate and useful data about school quality, close pernicious opportunity gaps, and prepare all students for college, career and life.
