The large online assessment organizations USL1 can work with

As years go by, the number of the national or global online organizations for the  assessments of school education are increasing. Here we list some of them so that the USL 0.5 or 1 participating cities, states, or national goverments can align themselves with. The list below is by no means exhaustive, but they can be handy starting points.

If the state or national MOEs or DOEs or governments in general can coordinate USL 1 pilot studies with these organizations, then the whole thing can operate with the relatively low costs and quick time.

For each school districts, where there are at least 10,000 students to 100,000 students, once the coordinations with one of these assessment organizations are settled, then we can test the effectiveness of USL1 impacts rather easily.

 

INTERNATIONAL ASSESSMENTS: TIMSS and PISA
