This study will meet the Congressional mandate to evaluate the Innovative Assessment Demonstration Authority Pilot Program (IADA). The program (Title I, Section 1204 of the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA) allows the U.S. Department of Education to exempt a handful of states from certain testing requirements if they agree to pilot new types of assessments. The study will produce a "Progress Report" and a "Best Practices Report," as mandated by Congress. The Progress Report will be based on existing documents from pilot states. The subsequent Best Practices Report will add, via surveys, the perspectives of district leaders, principals, and teachers on the development, implementation, and outcomes of IADA assessments. These reports will help the Department appropriately target its technical assistance to tackle the largest barriers to adequate progress in pilot states, and provide a valuable guide for other states that may want to develop a new assessment in the future.

This is a new Congressionally mandated evaluation. The study will focus on the first four IADA pilot states - New Hampshire, Louisiana, Georgia, and North Carolina. All of the participating districts within these states will be surveyed in spring 2021 and spring 2022 to describe their implementation experiences. In addition, a sample of schools and teachers within the participating districts will be surveyed in spring 2021 and spring 2022 to describe their implementation experiences. These data will be summarized in a "Best Practices Report" that will inform the U.S. Department of Education's technical assistance and future states' participation in the IADA program. This is the first of two packages for the evaluation. This package requests clearance for preliminary recruitment and sampling activities to prepare for the surveys. The second package will request clearance for the actual survey forms and procedures for administering the surveys.
