Measuring Opportunity Pilot Project
Measuring Impact on Alternative Education Campuses
Alternative Education Campuses serve students whose paths don’t always show up in standard test scores and graduation rates. This project helps Colorado leaders build an accountability system that reflects the outcomes and supports that matter most in AEC students’ lives, rather than judging them by measures that were never designed for them.
By creating a tailored evaluation approach, we’re strengthening accountability for students whose success is often overlooked.
