The Education Commonwealth Project (ECP) works to support assessment of student learning and school progress that is valid, democratic, and equitable. Pushing back against the overreliance on standardized testing, ECP offers free and open-source resources that all schools can use. And thanks to support from the Massachusetts State Legislature, ECP offers additional support for public schools and districts in Massachusetts.

SQM honors the full range of what schools do, using data to support and sustain schools rather than to rate and rank them. Whether it means identifying new indicators for tracking progress, or visualizing data in ways that foster richer conversations, the SQM team is here to support Massachusetts districts as they work to assemble a fuller and more accurate portrait of their schools.
