An excerpt from Looney's article
The Mastery Transcript Consortium (MTC) was born on March 1, 2017, at the NAIS Annual Conference in Baltimore. Since that day, our membership has nearly tripled. The Edward E. Ford Foundation awarded us a matching $2 million Collaborative Innovation Grant, its largest grant ever. Nearly 50 media outlets have covered MTC’s launch, from The Christian Science Monitor to Inside Higher Education, from Teen Vogue to The Boston Globe.
Composed of more than 130 independent schools and advised by more than a dozen leaders from higher education and beyond, the MTC is working to invent a tool that will make each student’s humanity and abilities visible and understood to colleges and to the students themselves. By changing the high school transcript, we hope, in the words of our vision statement, “to change the relationship between preparation for college and college admissions for the betterment of students.”
The MTC aims to use the collective influence, access, and flexibility of established independent schools to change the college preparation model for all high schools — not just private schools. However, we are starting with independent school members to minimize complication and maximize our initial influence as we partner with college presidents and admission deans.
Once we have proof of concept (meaning a digital transcript design and corresponding software platform to support it), as well as partnership with our colleagues in college admissions, the MTC plans to open membership to interested public schools. We’ve already had productive meetings with a number of superintendents.
