<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>

<p>The Education Commonwealth Project works to challenge and expand the way student learning and school quality are assessed, advancing an approach to measurement and accountability that is valid, democratic, and equitable. ECP supports schools and communities with free and open-source tools, and broadly seeks to foster state- and national-level change.</p>
<p>The Massachusetts Consortium for Innovative Education Assessment (MCIEA) is a partnership of eight MA public school districts and their local teacher unions, joined together to create a fair and effective accountability system that offers a more dynamic picture of student learning and school quality than a single standardized test. MCIEA seeks to increase achievement for all students, close prevailing opportunity gaps among subgroups, and prepare a diversity of students for college, career, and life.</p>
