Rethinking Accountability Data

How Performance-Based Assessments Can Drive a Passion for Learning in Public Schools

It's remarkable to witness the approach to education in elite private schools and how it instills a #PassionForLearning in their students. The contrast between this experience and that of dysfunctional public schools is stark, and it's upsetting to see. Why aren't we providing the same quality of education to all students?

Our team has decades of experience working in public schools, and we know the answer: accountability data. It's essential to have data to understand how our kids are performing, how our teachers are doing, and how our schools are doing. Without academic data, we're essentially educating students blindly. The issue is that public schools rely on standardized tests to measure outcomes, while elite private schools use more meaningful performance-based assessments.

Performance-based assessments help students learn how to do meaningful work, whereas standardized tests teach them how to follow directions. It's time to shift the focus of public education towards critical thinking rather than compliance. The hs.credit platform is designed to do just that.
