This year's conference is designed to discuss issues related to valid and meaningful use of educational assessment information around the world. It seeks to promote conversations on validity among technical and non-technical audiences who could impact appropriate use of educational assessments in applied educational settings. The conference presentations will cover educational assessment systems designed to measure student achievement and to evaluate teachers, schools and institutions, examining where and how validity breaks down and how it can be improved in practice and policy contexts.

The conference is geared towards educators, funders, policymakers, managers and technical staff of assessment programs, and users of assessment information.

Register before Feb 29^th.
