SCALE, which stands for the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity, is a research center based at Stanford University dedicated to enhancing educational practices through innovative methodologies. The organization plays a significant role in improving the quality of education by collaborating with various educational entities, including the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), to develop educational tasks for the Innovative Lab Network.

In its commitment to research and evaluation, SCALE has conducted comprehensive retrospective studies focused on performance assessment initiatives and systems across the United States.
