A New Resource from The Learning Accelerator 

Measuring Unfinished Learning: A Guide for Schools and Systems to Understand

The Learning Accelerator has approached the challenge from an asset-based frame and
created a series of guides to help schools and districts measure student progress and
implement strategies to identify bright spots and accelerate growth.
