STANFORD, CA and PRINCETON, NJ (April 17, 2023)<\/strong> \u2014The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and ETS<\/a> today announced a new partnership<\/a> designed to radically transform education assessment across the United States. In collaboration with practitioners and policy makers nationwide, the partnership aims to create a robust, scalable suite of assessment and analytic tools that captures the full range of skills required for American students to succeed in K-12, post-secondary education and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1906, the Carnegie Unit or \u201ccredit hour\u201d has served as the bedrock currency of the educational economy. It defines what \u201ccounts\u201d as learning, shapes the nature of what is and is not assessed, and determines the basic organization of secondary and post-secondary education. Where seat time has served as the primary function of learning outcomes, it is increasingly clear that the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to succeed in the 21st century economy are not singularly demonstrated through time on task \u2013 whether sitting at a desk or on a digital platform. It is time to fundamentally rethink how learning progressions and mastery are demonstrated, the methods of measurement used, and how attainment of skills is communicated throughout a learner\u2019s journey. The Carnegie Foundation and ETS are proposing that the new currency of education should be based upon meaningful skills and accomplishments demonstrated through assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCurrent assessments fail to capture what we know matters most, and do not provide key stakeholders \u2013 students, parents and educators \u2013 with the insights they need to accelerate learning,\u201d Carnegie Foundation President Timothy F.C. Knowles said. \u201cHow we demonstrate progress must become competency-based, and families and educators should be supported by assessments that capture learning whether it occurs in the classroom, afterschool, on a farm, in the workplace, or in an internship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is time for a seismic shift in education that puts the focus on skills. And not just cognitive skills accounted for in curriculum written for 20th century skills and work, but the rich tapestry of skills that enable individuals to thrive in the 21st century,\u201d said Amit Sevak, CEO of ETS. \u201cThis is a fundamental paradigm shift from time-based to skill-based units of learning. Smarter assessments are the key to unlock the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, Carnegie and ETS will design, pilot and distribute a new suite of assessments that measure the essential affective, behavioral and cognitive skills necessary for success in school and the 21st century economy. The offering will be designed to provide actionable evidence of progress to students, parents, educators and states, and will leverage advances in assessment technology to capture and communicate student skill development, whether it occurs inside or outside the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Carnegie Foundation and ETS are tackling a central issue that is impeding the progress of young people nationwide, one which needs a comprehensive solution,\u201d says Ted Mitchell, President of the American Council on Education (ACE). \u201cIt is timely that ETS will leverage its technical assessment strength and scalability, while Carnegie will draw on historical contributions to the field to support student, teacher, and family-voice in assessment development, field-testing and implementation. I am thrilled that they have engaged organizations like ACE to ensure we are working together across the education ecosystem to address this critical national challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carnegie and ETS will design and pilot this offering in close partnership with key stakeholders \u2013 including students, parents, teachers, education leaders, civil rights organizations, and employers. Stakeholders will be engaged at each step of the process \u2013 from development, testing, implementation and determining impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne year ago, we partnered with The Carnegie Foundation to build a new educational architecture of secondary schools,\u201d said Russlynn Ali, former Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education and now CEO of XQ Institute. \u201cBuilding better assessments that focus on the real skills young people need to thrive in post-secondary school and their career is critical to supporting our economy, democracy and social fabric. That\u2019s why XQ is excited to bring our tools, our ideas and our national network of extraordinary educators to support this important work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
