Assessments have the power to shape educational outcomes, but are we truly measuring what matters? Ensuring that assessments are fair, inclusive and meaningful for all students is a growing priority for educators. Bias, whether systemic or unintentional, can affect accuracy, disadvantaging students from diverse backgrounds. This requires a critical look at both what and how we assess, ensuring the most important skills and knowledge are prioritized.
Recently, EdSurge webinar host Matthew Joseph discussed with education experts the need for assessments to measure what truly matters and power human progress. Webinar panelists included Patrick Kyllonen from ETS, Candace Thille from Stanford Graduate School of Education, Eugene So from JFFLabs and Temple Lovelace from Assessment for Good, a program with the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund.
