About this event
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a system of international assessments that allows countries to compare outcomes of learning as students near the end of compulsory schooling. PISA measures the performance of 15-year-old students in mathematics, science, and reading literacy every 3 years. PISA uses the term “literacy” in each subject area to indicate how well students are able to apply their knowledge and skills to problems in a real-life context.
PISA is coordinated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). It was first implemented in 2000 in 32 countries. It has since grown to 65 education systems in 2012.
Connecticut, Florida and Massachusetts participated in PISA 2012 not only as part of the U.S. national sample of public and private schools, but also individually with state-level public school samples.
