This mission statement is in alignment with the overall vision and mission of the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and that of the Division of State Services and Technical Assistance (SSTA). Implementation of the SCASS concept began at a National Education Standards Forum in Des Moines, Iowa, on October 27 and 28, 1991, when representatives of states met to discuss cooperative action for assessment challenges faced in their individual state education agencies. Groups in the arts, science, mathematics, workplace readiness, and health decided to explore the possibility of the CCSSO becoming an organizer and convener of content-focused partnerships to address the need for state and local level assessments.

The Department of Education has appointed a technology commission to develop "a clear and compelling vision for using technology to transform the education system at the building, district, area and state levels to support the teaching and learning process."
