In March and April 2021, conservative education leaders representing state education agencies, charter networks, foundations, think tanks, research organizations, testing companies, universities and teachers convened in a private, three-part working group to discuss the future of state assessment and accountability systems. This brief highlights reflections from the working group on the following topics: (1) conservative principles on assessment and accountability; (2) current problems with assessment and accountability systems; and (3) recommendations for improving assessment and accountability.
