Advancing Public Discourse Around Assessment

How can we evolve our conversations around assessment to promote deeper understanding of complex issues and actionable steps forward?

At this seminar, we will engage with various education stakeholders–from parents, to teachers, to admin and researchers. We’ll seek a nuanced understanding of how different perspectives and experiences shape social dialogue around assessment, and how we can leverage those to create solutions that work for everyone.
