<p> Through a strand of work led by professor Jack Schneider at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a team of researchers, ECP is reimagining how we measure the quality of our schools and the learning experiences of our students. </p>
<p> Specifically, ECP is the dissemination arm of the School Quality Measures framework developed by the eight original districts of the Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Education Assessment (MCIEA). MCIEA sought input from stakeholders in each consortium district to build a school quality framework that reflects what the public wants to know about their schools. </p>
<p> The framework has been built around multiple measures, which include academic, social-emotional, and school culture indicators, in order to piece together a fairer and more comprehensive picture of school performance. It consists of five major categories. </p>
