2026 Better Future Forum_Session Summary_Measuring What Matters.pdf

If we only look at test scores, we are looking at a silhouette of a child — not the whole person

How do we know whether students are growing holistically — and how can measurement better support that growth? This session summary from the Better Future Forum 2026 draws on the work of a Global Working Group on Holistic Student Outcomes Measurement to explore new approaches that go beyond grades and surveys. Featuring case studies from Kenya, Oxford MeasureED, Dream a Dream, and Teach For Poland, it offers both practical tools and a provocation: what would it look like to truly measure what matters?

What's inside: Four key insights for holistic measurement, three case studies, and open questions for how these innovations could scale across systems.
