Best Practices for State Assessment Systems
December 10-11, 2009
Washington, DC | Washington, DC
The Hunt Institute commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) to explore possibilities for next-generation, innovative assessments. As part of this project, the NRC designed a two-day workshop, "Best Practices for State Assessment Systems." The event brought together a diverse group of experts on testing and measurement with leaders from the local, state, and federal levels. They discussed state assessment systems; the technical and political challenges that must be overcome to implement more innovative assessments; and the opportunities that exist within the Common Core State Standards Initiative and the US Department of Education's $350 million commitment to develop tests that measure common standards.
