Abstract	The Innovative Assessment Demonstration Authority (IADA) program, written into the Every Student Succeeds Act, gives up to seven state educational agencies the opportunity to launch innovative assessment pilots in their public schools, with the goal of eventual statewide implementation. As of August 2020, the U.S. Department of Education had approved five states' applications. Beginning with Louisiana and New Hampshire in 2018, Georgia and North Carolina in 2019, and most recently Massachusetts in 2020, each state received a federal waiver for regular assessments so they could pilot assessment systems in select districts or schools over five years. This article discusses these five states' innovative assessment pilots. Largely, the pilots focus on building a competency-based system that is more locally informed and better aligned to coursework.
