The Team
The Advocacy & System Improvement team operates as an engine for sustainable impact at scale within US Program. The role of this team is not to develop or deliver solutions, but to enable systems to adopt and sustain effective practices, and to change how systems operate so those practices become standard, scalable, and durable. In this context, the solutions our colleagues develop and deliver are more likely to reach more learners, driving collective progress toward our shared goals.
Within this team, the Assessment Initiative works to advance the field’s capacity to generate credible, actionable evidence of student learning particularly for learners traditionally furthest from opportunity. The Initiative invests across two interconnected areas of work: upstream innovation in assessment capabilities, AI interpretation methodology, and the measurement science that makes AI-mediated assessment trustworthy; and the evidence infrastructure, tools, and field practices that enable schools and systems to act on that evidence in time to accelerate the pace of improvement for students.
