Reimagining Balanced Assessment Systems

(2024)

This National Academy of Education (NAEd) volume explores the history of balanced assessment systems and reimagines balanced assessment systems that center equitable classroom learning environments. In doing so, it provides guidance to state and local educational agencies, as well as schools and teachers, regarding how to:

  1. Foster and maintain a culture of productive assessment use to improve ambitious and equitable teaching and learning at the classroom level;
  2. Design policy, professional learning, and other local systems necessary to implement balanced assessment systems; and
  3. Implement processes to use aggregate data to continually improve the assessment system itself to better serve all students, especially those most disenfranchised.
Using this work as a foundation, the NAEd co-published with the Center for Assessment guidance for district and school leaders, available at Implementing Balanced Assessment Systems: A Practical Guidebook for Districts and Schools.
