Learning Policy Institute

The California Performance Assessment Collaborative (CPAC) is a network of schools and districts who are working together to advance the use of performance assessment, capstone projects, and portfolio defense. In Los Angeles, Oakland and Pasadena CPAC is working intensively to embrace these assessment practices to make graduation requirements more rigorous, equitable, and authentic.
