With support from the Sandler Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, SCALE works alongside ILN states (California, Kentucky, Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, West Virginia, and Wisconsin) to support the development, piloting, and implementation of new performance assessments that can be incorporated into accountability systems. All assessments are aligned to the Common Core State Standards and the work of SBAC and PARCC, the two assessment consortia."
