Are we measuring the right things in education? What would we measure if we started over?

This is an open Question Network on Futurecraft. Questions, not posts or threads, are the primary unit of intellectual work here. Each question is held by a small, cross-disciplinary working group and remains open until productive contradictions have been mapped, adjacent disciplines have weighed in, and the inquiry has either produced a durable synthesis or been honestly retired.

Working thesis: The current measurement stack optimizes for the legibility of students to institutions. A renewed stack would optimize for the legibility of institutions to students, and to the futures both will inhabit.

The current working group draws from 2 contributors spanning 4 adjacent disciplines, Psychometrics, Apprenticeship, Civic formation. The contradictions listed below are the points where the inquiry is most likely to fracture; they are preserved, not resolved away. Open contributions are by invitation; observers may follow without joining the working group.
