The National Academy of Sciences, Center for Education through the Board on Testing and Assessment, will convene a committee to conduct a series of activities over the next two years that will:
- provide guidance to states on designing and developing quality science assessments in light of requirements of the No Child Left Behind Legislation;
- foster communication and collaboration between the NRC Committee and key stakeholders in states and school districts so that the guidance provided is practical and useable. The Committee's report will be widely disseminated.
The Principal Investigator of Envisioning Quality Science Assessments is Stuart Elliott.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Science Assessments
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
Envisioning Quality Science Assessments project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
