Jeff Nellhaus (often referred to as "Mr. MCAS" for his role in that system) is leaving his position at the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, where he serves as Deputy Commissioner.
He will not be leaving the testing world, however, as he has been wooed away by Achieve, Inc., the organization that won one of two Race to the Top grants for a common assessment. He'll be "the Director of the PARCC* consortium" according to an email sent out by Commissioner Chester earlier today.
*Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness in College and Careers. The other acronym is SMARTER, which wins, hands down.
