The Consultation Process Any effort to develop a shared vision for global learning goals and targets must be open, inclusive, and transparent. The task force seeks input from a wide variety of stakeholders through a global consultation process to be conducted both online and in person. • The objectives of the consultation process are to: • Engage a diverse group of actors at the political, technical, and field levels to build global consensus around learning outcomes and achieve maximum efficacy and impact. • Take into account adaptability and applicability to specific contexts and compile feedback and input to inform the final recommendations of the task force.
Phase 1 Consultation Results In Phase 1, the Standards Working Group convened from May – October 2012 to make recommendations for what learning is important globally. The prototype recommendations were released for public consultation in August – September 2012. The task force received feedback from more than 500 individuals in 57 countries. Based on that feedback, a draft framework was developed and presented to the task force at in September 2012. The results of the Phase 1 consultation period and the revised standards framework are available online at http://www.brookings.edu/about/centers/universal-education/learning-metrics-task-force/consultation.
