THE NEW ACCOUNTABILITY ​
Beyond a single test.
Towards better measures of our students & schools.

SCHOOL QUALITY MEASURES
​​Building a school quality framework with multiple measures that offers a fair and comprehensive picture of school performance.
District Members
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.
Our Approach
MCIEA brings together teachers, administrators, researchers, and teacher union representatives to build a better accountability system that goes beyond a multiple-choice standardized test. As a member of the consortium, districts receive:
Teacher Professional Learning
Student & Teacher School Quality Surveys
Cross-District Collaboration
School Coaching
Community Focus Groups
Performance Assessment Resources
