SCALE provides task and resource materials to schools and districts that have committed to adopting performance-based assessment as part of a multiple-measures system for evaluating student learning and measuring school performance.
SCALE develops 21st century teacher assessments that embody the design principles listed in the Assessment System and that build on what we have learned from previous assessment development efforts over the past 25 years.
SCALE is thrilled to convene the 11th Annual Teacher Performance Assessment Conference on October 19-20, 2018, in San Jose, CA. The TPA conference is a multi-day gathering of higher education administrators, faculty and supervisors, state education agencies (SEAs) and P-12 community members who are seeking to deepen their understanding of teacher performance assessment and network within a learning community of programs that implement edTPA, a national performance assessment for pre-service teachers.
The Science Education team at the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity is pleased to announce the launch of our new website: scienceeducation.stanford.edu. The site gives science teachers, administrators, and leaders access to our NGSS-aligned PBL curriculum materials for the middle grades (all are FREE to download, use, and share)! Sample NGSS-aligned assessments are posted as well, along with sample rubrics.
The Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning and Equity (SCALE) is excited to announce a new and dynamic partnership with Envision Schools to break new ground in curriculum, assessment and research focusing on deeper learning. See the link below for a recent story that provides more information about this collaborative effort:
In November 2017, a public report was released on the third full year of edTPA implementation, which provides a detailed picture to date of edTPA’s continued expansion and support as the first nationally available performance-based assessment and support system for teacher licensure, program completion and accreditation.
