On January 3, 2018, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) issued a notice inviting applications for new authorities for Fiscal Year 2018 under the Innovative Assessment Demonstration Authority (IADA). Administered by ED’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, the purpose of this program is to provide up to seven state education agencies (SEAs), including consortia of SEAs, with the authority to establish and operate innovative assessment systems in their public schools.

IADA provides an SEA or consortium of SEAs the opportunity to establish, operate, and evaluate an innovative assessment system, including for use in statewide accountability systems. The goal is to meet academic assessment and statewide accountability system requirements.

During the call, representatives from the Learning Policy Institute and the Alliance for Excellent Education
