Abstract	"Transforming Science Assessment: Systems for Innovation," is a series of resources designed to provide state education leaders with: (1) Information about how states are currently pursuing statewide assessment systems in science; (2) Analyses of what features influence different approaches, with an eye to supporting state leaders as they make their own decisions regarding science assessment systems; (3) Detailed state profiles that highlight how and why some states have made decisions regarding designing and enacting different examples of systems of assessment; and (4) A how-to guide for policymakers looking to enact systems of assessment in science. In Michigan, the State Education Agency (SEA) is focusing on developing the statewide summative assessments in science while supporting local efforts to develop and implement three-dimensional assessments. The vision for a balanced assessment system emphasizes the use of multiple sources of evidence, grounded in classroom experiences, to support inferences about student performance. Michigan routinely signals that while the state is focused on the statewide summative assessment in grades 5, 8, and 11, other components of the system need to be carefully considered, including classroom- and locally-based assessments. While Michigan's science leadership within the SEA is committed to science assessment systems, there are limited capacity and resources within the SEA to develop a comprehensive system of assessments that is state-driven. This, coupled with Michigan's geographic and demographic diversity and strong partnerships with districts and third-party organizations within the state, has led Michigan to focus on a distributed assessment system at this time.
