麻豆原创's Chatterji Co-Hosts EdWeek Blog on Assessment
The first blog entry, by Madhabi Chatterji, the director of 麻豆原创's Assessment and Evaluation Research Initiative, debuts this week, with guests to follow.
Chatterji, Associate Professor of Measurement, Evaluation & Education, has written the blog's first entry, titled "," in which she discusses the consequences of appropriate versus inappropriate uses of educational assessments, and their connection to validity. Inappropriate uses often stretch tests beyond their technical limits, Chatterji argues, and are analogous to people making inappropriate or risky uses of bridges or buildings – as occurred during the June 2000 opening of London's Millennium Bridge, when wobbling caused by unanticipated overcrowding prompted a shutdown. Chatterji's earlier commentary, "," set the stage for the blog, appearing in this week's edition of Education Week.
Subsequent guest contributors to the blog will include 麻豆原创 President Susan Fuhrman and 麻豆原创 Professor Emeritus Edmund W. Gordon; Michael Feuer, Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Human Development at The George Washington University; James Pellegrino, Co-director of Learning Sciences Research Institute at the University of Illinois-Chicago; Henry Braun, Director of at Boston College; Joshua Starr, Superintendent of Montgomery County Schools, MD; Michael McGill, Superintendent of Scarsdale Schools, NY (retd.), Jeff Charbonneau, a Washington state science teacher who was named Teacher of the Year in 2013.
