Super excited to finally get this guidance off the ground! It was a couple years in the making and provides some pretty concrete suggestions for accountability restart and revision, including all of the components that make up state systems. Thanks CCSSO and @NCIEA1 #education

Really important insight from Nathan Dadey on pandemic recovery and the next steps we should take to help the public understand what recovery actually looks like. #educationalassessment

In my latest post on #centerline for @NCIEA1 I offer some ideas about how lagging, leading, and capacity indicators connect to support continuous improvement that goes beyond "Big A" accountability. #education #edassessment #accountability

@NCIEA1 professionals work hard for our clients, but we know how to play hard too. We had a great hike up Mt. Sanitas in Boulder after an engaging week learning about how best to communicate complex assessment & accountability concepts. Jessica Rodrigues Juan D'Brot Chris Brandt

In our latest #centerline post for @NCIEA1 we offer three practical considerations and some ideas in using the right #educatuonal #assessment tools to monitor student recovery in the name of coherence: Focus on the standards, performance expectations, and content coverage.

My friend and colleague Carla Evans lays out a clever way of interrogating what we mean by "informing instruction." This is useful as we explore the idea of through-year #assessment. #education #edresearch Can a State Test Inform Instruction? nciea.org/blog/can-a-sta…

Asa regular reader of the The New York Times, a little critical reading never hurts. Great insight here.

So excited to have you coming onboard! @NCIEA1 is very lucky and I'm looking forward to working together!!

Talking about #educational #testing and #schoolaccountability results isn't easy. In my latest #centerline post for @NCIEA1, I offer some practical tips to consider as we begin the testing season to help make sense of madness.

My colleagues and I have a new paper out in which we share ideas to improve school accountability systems. nciea.org/library/the-pa… Juan D'Brot Laura Pinsonneault Brian Gong Chris Brandt @cgewertz Scott Marion

Always a pleasure to write with my @NCIEA1 colleagues, especially on #education and #accountability. I'm always learning from them!

I've learned so much from you both, Chris Domaleski and Scott Marion! I'm really looking forward to working with you and Carla Evans to ramp up towards Sept 2025 over the next year. And it was great to see so many thoughtful people at #RILS2024 this year!
