"PACE" to Participate In the Alternative Accountability Policy Forum
Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) from Stanford University will be participating in the 5th Annual Alternative Accountability PolicyForum in San Diego during October 27-29th.
PACE is an independent, non-partisan research center based at Stanford University, the University of Southern California, and the University of California, Davis. PACE seeks to define and sustain a long-term strategy for comprehensive policy reform and continuous improvement in performance at all levels of California's education system, from early childhood to postsecondary education and training. PACE bridges the gap between research and policy, working with scholars from California's leading universities and with state and local policymakers to increase the impact of academic research on educational policy in California.
Two of PACE's leading researchers will be attending to summarize the convening and to further their research on alternative accountability with an eye towards a future policy brief on the subject.
