​Through the United We Learn vision and the work of the Kentucky United We Learn Council, we are building a bold new accountability model that goes beyond test scores to reflect the skills, experiences, and values our communities care about most.This Reimagining Assessment and Accountability journey reflects years of collaboration, prototypes, and feedback from across the state — leading to a framework that prepares students for meaningful roles in their communities, future careers and civic life.
