ETS has been conducting a long-term research and development initiative called Cognitively Based Assessment of, for, and as Learning (CBAL®). The initiative aims to create a model for a comprehensive system of K–12 assessment that:
- documents what students have achieved ("of learning")
- helps identify how to plan and adjust instruction ("for learning")
- is considered by students and teachers to be a worthwhile educational experience in and of itself ("as learning")
