Based in Oakland, CA, Envision Learning Partners (ELP) is a nonprofit consultant and PD provider dedicated to helping schools and districts engage every one of their students in a high-quality system of performance assessment. Through a mix of leadership coaching and teacher professional development, ELP supports learning communities to refine their desired learning outcomes (often in the form of a “graduate profile”) and bring those outcomes to life through the design and implementation of high-quality performance assessments (specializing in portfolio assessment and public presentations of learning). An innovative and balanced assessment system is perhaps the most powerful lever for transforming learning and driving toward equitable outcomes because it focuses every layer of the system on improving the quality of student work.
