We must use and improve the growth data we have. Our SEDA team responds to the Senate RFI on school-level growth indicators with 4+ recommendations, including restoring and improving EDFacts, harnessing NAEP, and incentivizing K-2 growth measurement: edopportunity.org/papers/EOP%20R…

NCME folks, remember to stay for the Presidential Closing Reception on Saturday 4/11! Food and drinks, and you'll be able to see great work at the tail end of the program (and mine!). Maybe I'll see you on the redeye that night?😴 Preliminary NCME Program: xcdsystem.com/ncme/program/8…

Excellent NCME webinar on testing policy, including "thinking big" about innovative assessment, the recent growth model RFI, and what we want to save (and improve) about NAEP. With Lily An, Allison Timberlake, Chris Domaleski, and Suzanne Lane.

Congratulations to the next elected leaders of the National Council on Measurement in Education, Laura Hamilton, Chris Rozunick, and (VP then President in 2027), Susan-Davis Becker! As I rotate off the board in April, I am proud to leave @NCME38 in such good hands.

At our NCME "Cafe AI" today, I heard how my colleagues are now 1) piloting oral exams, 2) requiring interviews for PhD finalists, and 3) using cold/warm-calling in class. AI is inspiring new emphasis on communication skills. Thanks to the Educators of Measurement SIG for hosting!

Your NCME vote (due 1/15) matters! Recent boards have: 1) invested in open access (e.g., EM5), 2) sued to protect US measurement data, 3) created new travel grants for students, 4) launched special conferences (AIME), and 5) created a 6-figure endowment. Shape our future! @NCME38

Test-based accountability has always fascinated me. When and how do we make test scores *really* matter, for better, or for worse? It was great to dive deep with Morgan Polikoff in our chapter pp. 1113-1188 in "the handbook of our field," EM5, free here: fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/ac…

I wrote the Foreword to EM5 as @NCME38 President when it went to press. I thanked the herculean service of 103+ members over seven years, and Susan Trent, in Steve Ferrara's memory, who helped make this freely accessible to all to download, read, and cite: global.oup.com/academic/produ…

I asked my fantasy football league to donate to an endowment I helped launch, NCME's "Fund for Measurement Excellence and Integrity." They responded generously (see lower left). I assume this is related to our move to decimal scoring this year. @NCME38 ncme.org/donate/the-ncm…

In my appreciation for the outpouring of support for the new NCME Endowment, I also mention equal-interval scales and, of course, normal distribution plushies. I welcome others to contribute. We're halfway to our 12/31 goal! ncme.org/donate/the-ncm…

NCME elections are open. You can tell the strength of an organization by the quality of those who stand to lead it. We had excellent nominees, as this final slate reflects. Voting members, please read their statements here, and vote by 1/15. @NCME38 ncme.org/about/board-of…

This is a really lovely, elegiac reflection by @cdepascale on TACs as a form of oral tradition, "stories that must be told time and time again." And more than just stories, he likens them to instruments in concert, benefitting from a conductor. I agree. charliedepascale.blog/2025/12/09/fro…

No Christmas tree is complete without an NCME normal distribution plushie! Support the new @NCME38 Endowment and increase average holiday spirit by 0.3 standard deviation units!* (Pick ups from me at Harvard are welcome for those local :-) ncme.org/donate/the-ncm… * n=1

Support measurement in perpetuity. I am proud to launch and support the *new* NCME Endowment, so our students' students will have the same excellent community and scholarship that benefitted me. Please donate, whether $25 or $250, towards our 12/31 goal. ncme.org/donate/the-ncm…
