After many (many!) years of trying, California FINALLY has a growth model. That's great! But there's more work to do. My latest, in @edsource.org: edsource.org/2025/califor...

Heading to #AEFP2025? We've been thinking a lot about what's happening at the Institute of Education Sciences and what it means for the field. More news coming soon on programming updates. For now, some thoughts with our SREE colleagues www.brookings.edu/articles/cut...

Anyone who cares about NAEP should worry about the abrupt removal of the person most responsible for its technical and operational quality.

NAEP maintains its "gold standard" through a network of contracts and data sources. Protecting NAEP means protecting all of these, or there will be further cuts and delays, and we will be further in the dark.

We are all overwhelmed by the cuts to the federal government. But if you want to understand the kind of non-ideological cuts to science and knowledge that are happening in our country, please read about these contract terminations at the Department of Education. hechingerreport.org/proof-points...

I bet >50% of NCME members would not receive NCME emails without adjusting their email filters (this includes me). Please take 5 minutes to safelist our domains, and stay up-to-date about scholarship, webinars, meetings, jobs, and (due today!) election ballots. @ncme38.bsky.social

NAEP Day represents the efforts of hundreds of @ncme38.bsky.social members to measure educational progress, from its governance (NAGB) and operations (NCES) to partnering state and district leaders, from its alliance of assessment contractors to the many researchers who use NAEP data.

This is highly relevant today. While we can debate the merits of specific 'DEI' policies—some may indeed be misguided—it’s undeniable that racial discrimination persists in this country. The evidence is clear for those willing to engage with it! bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/cea/written-...

Awards (due 1/10) are important signals and records of contributions to our field. Beyond $1K+ and a plaque, I've seen them guide recruitment, hiring, promotion, and tenure decisions. Our 6 award committees are standing by and eager to learn of the accomplishments of our members.

In January, faculty representatives from 33 measurement-related programs will convene at an NCME Presidential Summit to discuss how @ncme38.bsky.social can elevate the field and its competencies. As a student considering measurement 25 years ago, I wish I had known the full breadth of our field.

As someone who has been to a number of @andrewdeanho.bsky.social parties, can confirm that if you're in the #NCME25 community, you should stay for the talks and attend this reception!

The response to the NCME Presidential Summit for Educational Measurement Programs reflects the strength of our field—I've connected with 25 programs in the past week! I look forward to seeing fellow faculty members at tomorrow's open Town Hall as well as the Summit in January. @ncme38.bsky.social

I spent 14 hours over 2 days conducting 1-1 oral exams with my #s52stats students. It was rewarding, exhausting, and important. Let's all uplift oral communication skills, especially in the GPT era. (I have done this for years in my psychometrics course: vimeo.com/497738911 )

On the Future of State Testing. Am I holding up two fingers to argue a) for peace between assessment-for-instruction and testing-for-accountability camps, b) that no single test can serve these 2 purposes well, or c) that AI is the solution to both? @futureedgu.bsky.social @bonnierok.bsky.social
